Thanks a lot for your prompt response!
I've tried it, and it works fine for me (and makes "the boot device
has safe access rights" test pass), so I've merged our feature/bilibop
branch into the experimental one.
I'd like to fix this bug for 0.18.1 or 0.19.
So, the question now is: do we want to use bilibop to fix this serious
bug, or develop and maintain a in-house solution?
A. bilibop
pros:
- already works in a way that I'd be happy to ship in our next
stable release
- we don't have tomaintain it: quidame does
- it supports more hardware / boot media / installation modes
than we'll ever do ourselves
cons:
- we (well, I) have to sponsor it in Debian
- quite a lot of code for something that may look simple
B. home-made solution
pros:
- less code
cons:
- the code is not finished (yet)
- we have to maintain it ourselves
- only supports the hardware / boot media / installation modes
that we explicitly add support for
I do prefer to go with plan A.
What do others think?
quidame, would you be happy to commit to make bilibop-udev support the
Tails usecase on the long term? (that is, Debian stable + live-build +
live-boot, GPT, DVD or USB / sd-card, etc.)

Nice goodies, thanks! This will be useful for the incremental updates
feature too.
