+Bug-Debian: https://bugs.debian.org/863290
+Origin: https://bugs.debian.org/863290#5
+
+Too many people come complaining about losing their data -- and indeed,
+there's no warning outside a wiki and the mailing list tribal knowledge.
+Message severity chosen for consistency with XFS -- "alert" makes dmesg
+produce nice red background which should get the point across.
