Comment 14 for bug 789229

As a follow up, first I forgot to say, thanks for the great work.

I took a look at the patches, and there are some fixes necessary.

First off, make sure you start from the latest version of the package for the desired release. multipath-tools has been updated in lucid, maverick, and natty, so you need to get the source from there rather than the release pocket.

One way to make sure you have the latest is to use 'rmadison':

$ rmadison multipath-tools
multipath-tools | 0.4.8-7ubuntu2 | hardy | source, amd64, i386
multipath-tools | 0.4.8-14ubuntu4 | lucid | source, amd64, i386
multipath-tools | 0.4.8-14ubuntu4 | maverick | source, amd64, i386
multipath-tools | 0.4.8-14ubuntu4.10.04.2 | lucid-updates | source, amd64, i386
multipath-tools | 0.4.8-14ubuntu4.10.10.2 | maverick-updates | source, amd64, i386
multipath-tools | 0.4.8-14ubuntu10 | natty | source, amd64, i386
multipath-tools | 0.4.8-14ubuntu10.1 | natty-updates | source, amd64, i386
multipath-tools | 0.4.9-2ubuntu1 | oneiric | source, amd64, i386

So first off, you'll need to update your debdiffs to take all of these updates into account. Make sure the version number is one that fits into the scheme you already see above. So you will want your lucid updated to be

0.4.8-14ubuntu4.10.04.3

and maverick

0.4.8-14ubuntu4.10.10.3

and natty

0.4.8-14ubuntu10.2

Also make sure you specify 'release-proposed' in the changelog.
