This is what I do not understand. The way I read the patch and its
description, if this array is not used for root, -Z will not be used on
it, so they will not be removed.

If "this issue" is this bug report and Christian's problem, I would say
it is.

I will leave to Christian to judge if this workaround fixes his issue.

I am starting to wondering if you are talking about the issue in the
linked Debian report, which might be somewhat different. I notice that
you quoted one of my comments here in that report, and when I mentioned
"original bug report" there it was of course about this Ubuntu report,
but it might have been confusing.

Other question: Why the special-casing of the root partition, shouldn't
the same logic apply to all partitions?
