Public bug reported:

[Availability]
Currently in universe

[Rationale]
mtd-utils is a new dependency of flash-kernel (main)

[Security]
There are no outstanding nor historical security issues.

[Quality Assurance]

There are a low number of outstanding bugs against the package and is well 
maintained.
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mtd-utils (1)
https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/mtd-utils (10)

There is one important bug in Debian but it does not affect Ubuntu since Ubuntu 
supports only the Linux kernel:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=745187
mtd-utils: Please use arch:linux-any

The outstanding bugs don't affect flash-kernel's mtd-utils usage.

The package does deal with exotic hardware, too, if rare SoC variants
count as such.

! Test suite is not enabled yet, it is in progress.

[Dependencies]

All in main (libc6 (>= 2.14), liblzo2-2, libuuid1 (>= 2.16), zlib1g (>=
1:1.1.4))

[Standards Compliance]

Debhelper compat version is 9.

Generally FHS compliant, with the exception explained here:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=589228
mtd-utils: possible FHS violation, as mkfs.jffs2 and mkfs.ubifs are not in /sbin

There are minor Debian Policy compliance issues reported by Lintian:
https://lintian.debian.org/maintainer/[email protected]#mtd-utils
It lists many missing man pages and 
priority-extra-is-replaced-by-priority-optional

[Maintenance]

Packaging is minimal, most likely it will be maintained in syncs from Debian.
The package will be maintained by the Foundations Team.
