Though you say you have no time for kfreebsd, you've written many
long emails complaining about it and that seems ironic and counter-
productive all round.

Likewise I didn't want to waste much time arguing with you.  With
https://bugs.debian.org/785796#45 you forgot to actually copy any
kfreebsd maintainers on the mail, but I did find it anyway when
looking into the FTBFS.  That and your other mails I've seen came over
as quite offensive, and if I haven't replied to you that's why.

I did meanwhile look to address this specific issue long-term via glibc,
without needing changes to util-linux (https://bugs.debian.org/785796#65).
It seems that won't work as Debian buildds don't support that feature
yet and another issue blocks them from being upgraded.

Guillem's workaround in https://bugs.debian.org/787042#5 would be
sufficient to resolve the current situation with Debian sid.  I don't
think it's suitable for upstreaming and should be only temporary.

He has meanwhile produced something else which may be more appropriate
for upstreaming.  But I wouldn't necessarily have waited for that when
you have one build-essential package FTBFS and another uninstallable.
