+multipath-tools (0.5.0-7ubuntu14mpathlvm4) UNRELEASED; urgency=medium
+
+  * Remove partition device nodes of individual paths (for LVM on multipath) (LP: #1540401)
+    - debian/multipath-tools.dm-mpath-lvm.udev: udev rule for that.
+    - debian/initramfs/hooks: copy the udev rule and partx to the initramfs.
+    - debian/initramfs/init-top: load the dm-multipath module for 'multipath -c'.
+    - debian/rules: install the udev rule (priority 56: after 55-scsi-sg3_id)
+  * debian/rules: don't ship 95-multipath.rules udev rules anymore; they are
+    not necessary with multipath-tools listening for udev events directly.
