Package: util-linux
Version: 2.33.1-0.1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

 line utility from util-linix is missing in recent ia32/amd64 versions. I 
believe, this utility cannot be
easily replaced and is not included in other debian package. Pleas consider to 
return this utilty to util-linux packge.

Thank You
