Can you help debian people (on the testing realm) to test this on all architectures ?

Util-linux 2.25 Release Notes
=
The command cytune(8) has been REMOVED from util-linux.
The non-libmount mount(8) implementation has been REMOVED from util-linux.
Release highlights
--
libsmartcols:
- this NEW SHARED LIBRARY (but with stable API) allows to print data in
tables, trees or parsable formats, support colors, sorting etc. The code has
been originally developed for lsblk(8) and findmnt(8).
cfdisk(8):
- the code been completely rewritten, now it uses libfdisk and libsmartcols,
supports GPT, SUN, SGI and BSD disk labels
- the command is no more based on CHS addressing
fdisk(8):
- no more print sizes in 1024-byte blocks, but in real sectors or human
readable sizes (MiB, TiB, etc.)
- allows to modify GPT partition attributes
lslogins(1):
- this NEW COMMAND list information about users, groups and system accounts,
provides data from last, wtmp, btmp, hust status, password expiration
settings, SELinux context, nologin setting, etc.
terminal-colors.d(5):
- this new directory controls output colorization for various utilities
- now dmesg(1) supports colors customization, for example
echo 'alert 37;41' >> /etc/terminal-colors.d/dmesg.scheme
sets red background for alert messages.
cal(1):
- supports new option --week to show week numbers
fallocate(1):
- supports new option --dig-holes to detect and dig holes, it makes the
file sparse in-place, without using extra disk space.
fstrim(1):
- supports new option --all to discard all filesystem on devices that supports
TRIM operation.
hexdump(1):
- the original very old BSD has been refactored
- the output format units support colors now, the colorized regions could be
specified by value or offset.
libmount:
- the library allows to use -s (sloppy) mount command line option for all
external
mount helpers. The option was originally NFS specific.
logger(1):
- supports new option --journald to send structured messages to systemd
journal
lsblk(8):
- supports new command line option --sort to sort output
kill(1) and setterm(1):
- the commands have been refactored to be more robust
The build system has been improved to support to build only explicitly specified
utils or libs (e.g. --disable-all-programs --enable-libblkid to build only
libblkid).
The project test suite has been improved to be more portable and robust, project
uses travis-ci service now.
