kpartx can be used standalone, e.g. to set up partitions from a backup-image
of a harddisk. I think this is a very useful tool in some cases. But the
description of this package does not give any hint. So please consider
adding at least an extra line to the description.
Since multipath-tools also includes and usually starts a daemon which is
started on boot you should even consider splitting kpartx into a
seperate package. Having an image of a whole disk is IMHO more common
than having a multipath setup.
