So, here is a status update on this issue:
What happened so far is, that I removed the blkid call for dm devices.
I also dropped the devkit-disks-dm-export prober altogether and instead rely on
the information setup by dmsetup/cryptsetup.

The last bit is the devkit-disks-part-id prober.

Unfortunately I can't just drop this prober completely for all dm/md devices, as
you might have partitioning information on such a device.

Discussing with upstream, 95-devkit-disks.rules was changed to only act on
"change" events (and not "add|change") and I additionally added a rule to skip
devices where DM_HIDE==1 is set.

The latest state is at
http://git.debian.org/?p=pkg-utopia/devicekit-disks.git;a=summary

and I plan to upload that soonish as 009-1.

Hopefully this addresses your remaining complaints in a sufficient manner so the
 conflicts in dmsetup can be removed again.

Michael
