Bug#690995: kpartx: please include "device-mapper" in package Description

[Daniel Kahn Gillmor]

Package: kpartx
Version: 0.4.9+git0.4dfdaf2b-6
Severity: wishlist

It seems to me that "apt-cache search device-mapper partition" should
turn up kpartx in the results.  It currently doesn't, because
device-mapper isn't in the package description.

maybe you could add "Kpartx uses the device-mapper subsystem." or
something like that?

Thanks for maintaining kpartx in debian,
