Checked in, thanks. Debian-derived distributions don't create
/dev/dm-X names, which is why I didn't notice this issue. However,
because of this, I modified your patch to keep this chunk which you removed:

For distributions that don't create /dev/dm-X devices, your check
above won't find the device name, so after searching /dev, we need to
do a short-cut scan of /dev/mapper before we do a full brute force
search via blkid_devno_to_devname.
