Bug#854671: Feed back some of the current Ubuntu multipath delta

[Christian Ehrhardt]

Package: multipath-tools
Version: 0.6.4-3
Severity: normal

Hi,
I was working on the latest merge of multipath-tools into Ubuntu.
There is a lot of cruft that I have to sort out in detail once I find some
more time - a lot of it might be outdated. Some other parts are for early
boot/install multipath - those might be useful to Debian, but those are not
from me so I have a hard time sorting out what really is still needed.

Never the less there are a few changes which I think would already help
Debian today and can be applied. I ported those onto latest master of [1].

You can find the commits at [2], the TL;DR overview are:
-  debian/control: Bump to an updated udev dependency
- d/multipath-tools.preinst: modprobe dm-multipath
- add dep8 test for kpartx
- add dep8 test using tgt and open-iscsi

I'd be happy if you'd consider those changes to be integrated in the next
Debian upload and I'm totally open for discussion if needed.
