The only change that might remain is the use of the -Q flag for the modprobe in debian/dmraid.initramfs-local. However I'm not sure if this is mandatory...

The -Q flag simply suppresses errors in the modprobe line during
initialization. The decision should be trivial on whether to keep it or not.
There's benefit in it either way. But if dropping it means dmraid can be
synced I'd say drop it.

Hi, any update on this? Is there anything else needed to okay this sync? People are running into the same show stopper bug for dmraid that's plaguing edgy in feisty because this package is being left to wallow. See last few comments here:
https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/dmraid/+bug/54246

Any update on this?
Anything else needed to okay this sync request?

It seems that to even test this, we need to first sync the new version which seems to have the ubuntu changes already.

Please sync this from debian then, so we could continue and improve on that for ubuntu.

Ack'd, builds and installs on Feisty and Ubuntu changes can be dropped.

Since we don't want to drop -Q flags to modprobe calls, please get this package merged instead.
