Yeah, that seems fair.  I actually left both versions of the code in the
rules with the in-tree blkid stuff commented out assuming we'd ifeq
around them as we do with util-linux-ng.

The package went into a PPA not the archive, so it was in a "just get it
done and worry about making it look good later" state.

Obviously this doesn't solve the debian/control problem - that would
require generating it with/without the libblkid parts depending on
target distro.

Grabbed that, thanks!

We're absolutely final frozen for Jaunty now; the CDs were spun on
Monday, but the problem has been noted in our Release Notes.

Since the patches are reasonably small and uninvasive, we'll look into
them for a jaunty-updates upload.
