I reviewed t-p-s code and consider it is OK.

I reviewed the feature/linux-3.8 git diff and consider it is OK

I reviewed the feature-linux-3.8 apt repository and package changes and
consider it is OK

However, I was unable to setup persistence with t-p-s on a 16G USB 3
stick on a IBM ThinkPad X32 on a build of experimental form today.

I suspect this branch to be responsible of the issue. I would be happy
to merge this branch once this problem is solved.

Cheers.
