Bug Description
Availability
============
Built for all supported architectures. In sync with Debian.
Rationale
=========
udisks2 2.7 uses the "libblockdev library for all low level storage management tasks instead of calling command line tools." libblockdev appears to have the same maintainers ("storaged project") as udisks2.
It would be nice to have the new version to support GNOME Disks 3.26's new Resize and Repair features.

There is some interest in dropping Gparted from the Ubuntu live ISO since it does not support Wayland and it still uses gtk2.
Security
========
No known security issues

Quality assurance
=================
- Ubuntu Desktop bugs is the subscriber (although the Desktop Team thinks that Foundations should be responsible for udisks and friends)

dh_auto_test is run but I guess it's not actually running the upstream test suite yet. (I think the upstream test suite needs to be run as autopkgtests)
See http://
No autopkgtests
Dependencies
============
Debian's udisks2 recommends libblockdev-crypto2 which depends on the universe libvolume-key1 (source: volume-key)
It might be ok to temporarily not recommend that plugin until the MIR for volume-key is approved. (LP: #1754422). (This was done in
https:/
Some of the other plugins depend on libbytesize, but we don't need those plugins in main yet.
Standards compliance
=======
4.1.1, debhelper compat 10, simple dh7 style rules
Maintenance
===========
Maintained in Debian by the Debian Utopia team, which is a small team focused on cross-desktop freedesktop.org stuff.

- missing bug subscriber
- why don't we build the plugin on s390x? The Debian comment is
terse, and we should not diverge a library package across
architectures.
- warning: Depends field of package python-blockdev: unknown \
substitution variable ${python2:Depends}
That one doesn't exist, leaving the package without dependencies.
- the package maybe should get a security review.
