So the patch ideal patch I'd like to see is one where you can toggle a flag and debian/rules will either build for util-linux or util-linux-ng.

When I commented on that you said that you understood that was just a proof-of-concept patch, and so I let things drop. > I've done the packaging for him, it's just waiting on him to get back > home to sponsor the uploads.
