+Subject: [PATCH] Shallow copy another alignment property (#1408282)
+
+Several blivet classes use custom __deepcopy__ methods to avoid
+deep copying some parted objects which we know can't be deep
+copied. Unfortunately the list of attributes excepted from deep
+copying for `DiskLabel` was missing one parted Alignment object,
+and with Python 3.6, we blow up trying to deepcopy that. This
+fixes the problem by adding that attribute to the list of ones
+we know have to be shallow copied.
