Debian deprecates their own tooling for regular users (as opposed to package mantainers) to easily make custom kernel deb packages[1], they now suggest to use the kernel-provided "make bindeb-pkg" instead.

I was also hoping fstrim would work, I guess I'll find out. Indeed fstrim does deprovision backing storage on thin LVM just fine. However I am not sure what is the relation with the bug being discussed. The "zero f_bavail" was just returning "0" to df, while that was not actually true. Seems puzzling how would that lead to increased usage of dm-thin for you. -- With respect, Roman
