Ok. For future uploads, for the sake of transparency, please make it clear
that you were paid for the work. An example of this is here:

I am planning to build Azure images using vmdebootstrap, and for these I
will likely be looking to build stable images as well as testing images. For
this I'll need a stable-backport for waagent. Is this something you will
also be working on?

This is not for a single package, the Azure team already maintains 6
packages and the number of packages is growing. I wrote about the Azure team
in a recent blog post here:

We are looking not only at images but also the SDKs and CLI tools around
Azure.

Thanks,
Iain.
