** Description changed:
Availability
============
Built for all supported architectures. In sync with Debian.
Rationale
=========
udisks2 2.7 uses the "libblockdev library for all low level storage
management tasks instead of calling command line tools." libblockdev appears to
have the same maintainers ("storaged project") as udisks2.
It would be nice to have the new version to support GNOME Disks 3.26's new
Resize and Repair features.

There is some interest in dropping Gparted from the Ubuntu live ISO
since it does not support Wayland and it still uses gtk2.
Security
========
No known security issues

Quality assurance
=================
- Ubuntu Desktop bugs is the subscriber (although the Desktop Team thinks
that Foundations should be responsible for udisks and friends)

dh_auto_test is run but I guess it's not actually running the upstream test
suite yet. (I think the upstream test suite needs to be run as autopkgtests)
See http://storaged.org/libblockdev/ch03.html
No autopkgtests
Dependencies
============
Debian's udisks2 recommends libblockdev-crypto2 which depends on the universe
libvolume-key1 (source: volume-key)
- It might be ok to temporarily not recommend that plugin until the MIR
- for volume-key is approved. (LP: #1754422)

Some of the other plugins depend on libbytesize, but we don't need those
plugins in main yet.
Standards compliance
====================
4.1.1, debhelper compat 10, simple dh7 style rules
Maintenance
===========
Maintained in Debian by the Debian Utopia team, which is a small team focused
