Hi Mark,
I thought about it and I guess it would be reasonable if it would be just the bcache userspace tools.
But the bcache documentation states "... If util-linux's libblkid is sufficiently recent (2.24) ...".
And we have only 2.20.1 in trusty (.25/.26/.27 in V/W/X).
So even on the first check it appears being too much dependencies for an SRU "just for that".
And obviously there could be even more dependencies.
