Not really (you're the people doing the builds that are affected).  But I
would like to see some more testing.  I thought there were still some
spurious errors that were unexplained, though maybe I am just unclear on
which fixes affected which prior problem reports.

This is the diskpart reading large disks problem, right?
Btw, I put a fix for that problem into the oskit master sources,
so it will be in the next official snapshot whenever that comes.

Is there any reason that Marcus shouldn't just make an official debian
release package of it as frequently as he likes?

Are you talking about the ioperm code (you didn't quote anything before
this paragraph).  Yes, I will put that into 2.2 after someone tests it.
