[Pkg-iscsi-maintainers] Bug#687925: diff for NMU version 1.4.20.2-10.1

[Ross S. W. Walker]

I have been so busy at my day job I have been negligent of the IET code base.

The bug was fixed in HEAD and not ported to 1.4.20 branch?

If we release 1.4.20.3 you can probably push that through as an update as it's bug-fix only?

Otherwise what you propose is less-stable that an official bug release.
