Bug#633878: libdevmapper1.02.1: breaks booting with empty sublevel definition in uname -r (like kernel 3.0)

[Stefan Lippers-Hollmann]

Package: libdevmapper1.02.1
Version: 2:1.02.63-3
Severity: minor

Hi

Using a kernel with empty SUBLEVEL definition, like

VERSION = 3
PATCHLEVEL = 0
SUBLEVEL =
EXTRAVERSION = -rc7
NAME = Sneaky Weasel

breaks booting with / on LVM2, as the logical volumes can't be found.
An according fix has been added to Fedora with

http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/gitweb/?p=lvm2.git;a=blob_plain;f=lvm2-uname.patch;h=20ba1e24d3c18ac7dc302cbec18937772f1e6325;hb=f583cdcaddb7efeb208747a83a4b8042dc1eeb0e

which corresponds to the one committed in upstream lvm2 2.02.86[1] and 
is working for me.

[ Yes I am aware that current Debian kernels in experimental define 
  SUBLEVEL as 0, to defer compatibility issues like this. ]
