I definitely feel Ubuntu should have these patches, as the bugs can badly
corrupt a RAID-5 volume under specific circumstances (I've had it happen to
me; EVMS eating my production RAID-5 was part of how the bug was discovered
in the first place :-) ). What's the e-mail address for the backport team?

I should probably make an upload to Debian stable containing just the RAID-5
bugfix as well; sarge has 2.5.2, with the exact same bug.
