Okay, so stepping back a bit, it's not really a question of literally zeroing the block device in this case, but rather whether or not secure delete is enabled for LVM2 snapshots. Does this mean the report here is effectively a duplicate of bug 1134768? If so, it sounds like we're proposing an announcement that secure delete is off by default because it's broken on Debian derived distributions, but that deployers who want to enable it for their environments are free to do so.

If that's the situation, this probably is better suited to drop into the OSSN queue (likely with a CVE assignment), rather than issue an OSSA. Am I misinterpreting this?
