Yeah, yeah, base freeze - I know. (Freezing the base-system, and waiting 
months for security support which is still not established or will be 
established in a foreseeable period is quite foolish)

Is there a blocker for not patching 3.0a into sarge's util-linux? (use 
base-components from sid in will raise the amount of work quite a lot)
