e07d3cd9a ("devmapper: Fix libdm logging") removed all of the callers of
DmLogInitVerbose, but we still kept around the wrapper. However, the
libdm dm_log_init_verbose API changes the verbosity of the *default*
libdm logger. Because pkg/devicemapper internally *relies* on using
logging callbacks to understand what errors were encountered by libdm,
this wrapper is useless (it only makes sense for the default logger
which we do not user).
Any user not inside Docker of this function almost certainly was not
using this API correctly, because pkg/devicemapper will misbehave if our
logging callbacks were not registered.

pkg/ is a collection of utility packages used by the Docker project without being specific to its internals.
Utility packages are kept separate from the docker core codebase to keep it as small and concise as possible.
If some utilities grow larger and their APIs stabilize, they may be moved to their own repository under the
Docker organization, to facilitate re-use by other projects. However that is not the priority.
The directory pkg is named after the same directory in the camlistore project. Since Brad is a core
Go maintainer, we thought it made sense to copy his methods for organizing Go code :) Thanks Brad!
Because utility packages are small and neatly separated from the rest of the codebase, they are a good
place to start for aspiring maintainers and contributors. Get in touch if you want to help maintain them!
