Hi Michael

Thanks for reporting this bug.

We already support udisks2 and all the code is ready. The origin of the
recommendation is that we probably just kept it going forward over the last
two years.
Since we don't need udissk1 any more in any way, I'll make sure that the
next upload drops this recommendation.

Best regards
