This is what I do not understand. The way I read the patch and its description, if this array is not used for root, -Z will not be used on it, so they will not be removed.

If "this issue" is this bug report and Christian's problem, I would say it is.

I will leave to Christian to judge if this workaround fixes his issue.

I am starting to wondering if you are talking about the issue in the linked Debian report, which might be somewhat different. I notice that you quoted one of my comments here in that report, and when I mentioned "original bug report" there it was of course about this Ubuntu report, but it might have been confusing.

Other question: Why the special-casing of the root partition, shouldn't the same logic apply to all partitions?
