Thanks for the update!  Was about to poke this thread :-)

I see, for Debian Buster another blocker right now is the fixed libblkid
from util-linux 2.33, although I've been told it's likely to make it for
Buster (it's in experimental right now).

FWIW, the release dates for Buster are the following [0]:

    2019-01-12  Transition freeze
    2019-02-12  Soft freeze (no new packages, no re-entry, 10-day migrations)
    2019-03-12  Full freeze

So if 2.1 doesn't trigger a transition due to a SONAME bump, releasing
it in February gives enough time to ship it to Buster.  (Strictly
speaking the deadline is March 02, assuming no RC bug is filed at the
last minute.)  I guess I'll poke this thread in early February to see
where we stand.

Cheers,
