Package: dmsetup
Version: 2:1.02.24-3
Followup-For: Bug #245282
While I agree on not documenting everything about possible mappings in
dmsetup, I am not happy about the lack of documentation of features dmsetup
itself provides, in this case, "--showkeys".
A patch is included.
Regards,
Michael Karcher
