I second this request. If I'm not mistaken though, using libvolume-id in
util-linux requires a more recent version than the one, currently in
unstable.
docs/v2.13-ReleaseNotes (of util-linux in exp) says it requires
libvolume_id (udev >= v110).

I CCed Marco, maybe he can comment on if he intends to upload a newer
udev version in the foreseeable future.

Cheers,
Michael
