Hi Witold,
thank you for the report.

lsclocks is a handy small utility added in 2023 for checking timers and >clocks and their resolution.
Agreed. It's not packaged yet because it was unclear how wide the
audience really is, and moving it between packages later is a pain.
You filed this bug against util-linux-extra, so I think you would
like to see it in util-linux-extra?
Also, I noticed few other utilities missing, like addpart, delpart. And
no mention of this in README.Debian.
Also some old utilities are gone (probably a good decission), like pg,
and line, but these decisions are not documented in README.Debian
either.
For some programs we document the reason in debian/not-installed in
the source.
For line, the git history tells me line is deprecated, and was
removed before buster. The same is true for pq.
Indeed, where programs are not built by upstream's default choices,
there's no documentation on it. line, pq were mentioned in
util-linux's NEWS because Debian -used- to ship them, and upstream
deprecated them. But this NEWS entry is so old, that I've removed it
for trixie. Personally I'm not a fan of keeping a "history" document
around, when we can look at the git history :-)
I've stopped installing addpart, delpart in Debian revision 2.40-1,
on my understanding that partprobe, (k)partx or a number of other
tools can be used instead.
