I plan to take over the Debian package of lvm because the current maintai=
ner=20
hasn't fixed serious bugs for quite a while.

I have created packages for lvm 0.8.1 and lvm 0.9.  One change I think sh=
ould=20
be done is an option for ./configure to specify whether a shared library=20
should be used or whether the programs should be statically linked.  If t=
his=20
is desired then someone please tell me which version I should create a pa=
tch=20
against and I'll send it in.

Also as part of the Debian packaging I have put the following patch in to=
=20
make it clean up all files after compiling:
diff -ruN ../LVM.orig/lvm-0.8.1.orig/Makefile.in lvm-0.8.1-0/Makefile.in

Also I would prefer to have the Debian packaging files in the upstream=20
source.  They are about 5K of data in 11 files in a separate sub-director=
y. =20
Please let me know if this would be desired/accepted as part of the LVM=20
upstream source and I will send the relevant patch to you.
