Package: libblockdev-mdraid3 Version: 3.0.1-1 Severity: normal X-Debbugs-Cc: j...@joshtriplett.org
Current udisks2 has a dependency on libblockdev-mdraid3, and libblockdev-mdraid3 has a dependency on mdadm. This effectively makes mdadm required on desktop systems. As I understand it from https://github.com/storaged-project/udisks/issues/1142 , udisks2 needs to depend on libblockdev-mdraid3. (And that much isn't necessarily an issue, it's just a library.) Would it be possible for libblockdev-mdraid3 to avoid pulling in mdadm, so that systems not using RAID don't have to have mdadm and its associated configuration and boot-time logic installed?
