I've been experiencing the pain that comes with this bug on an
up-to-date sid system for a while. I confirm that the patch nicely
forwarded here by Fabian almost six months ago fixes the problem
for me.

Martin Pitt has applied this patch to Ubuntu in September 2012, and
I have found no trace of issues it may have caused there since then.
Moreover, according to Martin, this patch can be dropped once
util-linux 2.21 reaches Debian. So, I think we should just apply it to
Debian too.

Lamont, or anyone else, would you mind if I do a NMU with this patch
applied, based on Fabian's patch (that is attached to this bug
report), of course with the version number updated?

Without any indication that I should not proceed, e.g.
because a better fix will be ready soon, I intend to upload to
DELAYED/10 between May 24 and May 31.

Cheers,
