Yep. > About hal itself, I have already filled a bug (#528383) with a patch. I should have mentioned that I've started this thread while working on updating this patch, sorry for that. > The opened point has to be fixed first (mainly the new library that > the maintainer doesn't like should be linked statically instead).

As agreed during a quick conversation on IRC (also with the maintainer), I'm going to work on getting that library in a reasonable shape, so that we are ready when 0.5.12 gets uploaded (which is blocked by util-linux, e2fsprogs, udev, etc. see #528830). Which means I'm cheating with the locally-hacked libvolume-id library for now, and that we'll only have to do some bits of porting for libblkid by then.
