Hi,

I will do as you ask.

I would like to be extra sure that I understand how you would like to proceed, please correct me if I'm wrong:

a) merge the patch fixing #687925 into http://packages.qa.debian.org/i/iscsitarget/news/20120915T091748Z.html
b) submit the -11 which already includes:

   * [6dfdd7c] Add iscsitarget-dkms to Recommends and drop iscsitarget-module
   * [281b4a4] Update README.Debian explaining the new DKMS package.
     Thanks to Olaf van der Spek (Closes: #668382)
   * [a0d484c] Drop patch fix-build-3-2.patch
   * [afdf1df] Add patches from 1.4.20 stable branch (Closes: #685422)

c) ask for an unblock and advocate for each of the 5 changes
d) if some of the changes are rejected, repackage -11 to contain only those that are acceptable
e) submit the -11 again
f) re post the unblock request which will get accepted because they were agreed during c)

The proposed NMU was based on the assumption that it would be easier to fix the release critical bug first and 
then advocate for other changes:

a) ask for an unblock of -10.1 fixing solely RC#687925
b) discuss -11 while -10.1 migrates to testing
proceed as in b) to f) above.

I am concerned that including the publication of the resolution of RC#687925 ( which blocks the installation 
of the nova-volume package which is essential to the successfull deployment of the entire OpenStack solution ) into a
larger discussion will involve a significant delay, maybe weeks, while the other changes are debated.

Thanks a lot for your work with the iscsitarget package : I use it daily :-)
