It *should*, I'll help up clean that project up a bit now with some meta crap which
Debian police may want, but yeah not sure. You're call. Whatever you wish to
print I'm fine with.

AFAICT dmzadm *should* be packaged at least. Long term perhaps lvm2 may re-implement
it, but I can't see why folks should wait for such lofty vaporware.
