Please unblock package udisks2
It fixes #987582:
udisks_client_get_block_for_drive() always returns the wrong block of eMMC
It's an upstream cherry-pick which ensure eMMC block devices are
detected correctly.
[ Tests ]
No automated tests for this code, but the fix was confirmed by the
original bug submitter.
[ Risks ]
udisks2 is a key package, but the change is rather small, see
https://github.com/storaged-project/udisks/commit/5d0ac7ebefb8b7aad73871936f5011545cc66344
[ Checklist ]
[x] all changes are documented in the d/changelog
[x] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
[x] attach debdiff against the package in testing

+Subject: udisksclient: Make get_block_for_drive deterministic
+
+While any given Block object has at most one corresponding Drive, many
+Block objects may share the same Drive. One example is eMMC devices
+which provide a block device for the main data area (e.g. /dev/mmcblk0)
+as well as additional logical block devices for device partitions (e.g.
+/dev/mmcblk0boot0 and /dev/mmcblk0boot1).
+
+This behaviour was introduced in #834 to resolve issue #619 that these
+device partitions caused a phantom additional Drive object to be
+exposed. On that issue, I wrote:
+
+> I believe that Block.Drive on the boot partitions should point to the
+> same data area as the main data area (and its logical partitions);
+> udisks_client_get_block_for_drive() on the drive should return
+> /org/freedesktop/UDisks2/block_devices/mmcblk0.
+
+The first part is now true, but as described on #879 the second part is
+not true. It is now non-deterministic which Block will be returned,
+based only on the order of objects returned by
+g_dbus_object_manager_get_objects().
+
+Make the return value of udisks_client_get_block_for_drive()
+deterministic by sorting the list of candidate Block objects by their
+device path in lexicographic order. Since (e.g.) /dev/mmcblk0 sorts
+before /dev/mmcblk0boot0, this has the desirable side-effect that
+calling udisks_client_get_block_for_drive() on an eMMC Drive returns the
+'real' Block for the main data area.
+
+Fixes #879.
+
