Parallel Installable Debuginfo

debuginfo packages can be installed in parallel to make it easier to observe what programs are doing or to debug when they have crashed. That way debugging, tracing or profiling programs can be done independent of whether they are 32bit, 64bit, a slightly newer or older version than currently installed or even from a different architecture.

Replace UDisks2 by Storaged

Storaged extends UDisks2 API by exporting several enterprise features (in form of plugins), such as LVM2 and iSCSI. This project is a drop-in replacement for UDisks2, either from D-Bus or binary point of view. The main motivation of this change is to provide the unified D-Bus API for all the clients who are willing to manage LVM2, iSCSI, Btrfs, BCache, LSM and ZRam.
