You're right, it has been fixed in bzr. That was quick! Thanks, Colin Watson.
I think my patch inspired the fix in bazaar, but I'm not sure. The fix in bazaar doesn't take into account how deep into the /dev directory the (recursive) find_root_device() function is.
Perhaps it doesn't seem important, but I think it is. Symbolic links in /dev/mapper/ will now be followed. That's good. But symbolic links in /dev/hello/mapper/ will also be followed. So will symbolic links in /dev/hello/future/bugs/mapper/.
I liked my patch.
