BTW, I have prototype patches to fix the spacing issue in udev rules
(pathes for kpartx.rules, multipath.rules, and kpartx_id IIRC)

But I guess that at this point of the schedule it'd be safer to go w/ shipping a default thing which could have been installed, rather than changing stuff at the udev rules level.

The problem seems to emerge from the general dm.rules, which on recent kernels will set DM_NAME as the mangled name which is obtained from sysfs/.../dm/name, but some Debian-specific thing related to dmsetup not exporting variables correctly will re-set DM_NAME to a non-mangled name.. this is leading to problem in the rest of that rules file.. Also, kpartx_id IIRC-2 gets a non-mangled name, in variable dmname IIRC-3.)

I can provide those patches if you're interested in taking a look.
