I assigned the bug is to both. The headers because they have the bug and
lvm because it can work around it (thereby reducing its severity to
normal).

If you don't think l-k-h oder libc6-dev should implement the O_NOATIME
it documents then please reassign it to lvm2 alone with an
explanation. That is your perogative as maintainer but I stand by my
decision that it is a critical bug and both packages are involved.
