I think there is no whitelisting system like Ubuntu has, and so I will need to create a release.debian.org bug each time, right? -- Kind regards, Luca Boccassi signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

A few comments: - I'd rather do without the changes in debian/control - likewise init script, pkg-config file (unless there's an explanation) - the above doesn't seem to address the changes in debian/patches/, can you detail the reason behind each of those? - I think from our perspective the reproducibility changes are adding more risk than anything else, and normally not appropriate for stable - the change in prep-modules, generating dependencies on the exact version of linux-image rather than the ABI (probably with ">=" the build version), looks wrong. I don't know if/how that is used by the package though. - the debian/rules changes introduce noise, so if that can be trimmed down it would be welcome - I can't speak to the upstream changes, but no objection in principle if that stuff is tested as you describe. Is any of the LTS branch testing done in a Debian stable environment, either by upstream, you, or some other users of this code? Cheers, Julien
