LGTM considering existing functions still work.

Should we add something to the existing expression (in this PR or future ones) to support new features?

What features are you thinking about?

What features are you thinking about?

E.g., the libsubuid mentioned in the changelog, and the gocryptfs mentioned in the message.

I have yet look into any of them, though.

Oh right! Yes we can add those in follow-up PRs.
I might lack some time though. Feel free to ping me if you go ahead :)
