Please grant a pre-approval unblock for the package libeatmydata.

The current version has a bug in the handling of Multi-Arch. With the
`eatmydata' wrapper script (shipped in the "eatmydata" package) users can't run
an executable for a different arch than host's.

The sane way to fix this is a rewrite of the wrapper (actually the current
wrapper is made of two different script, installed at /usr/bin/eatmydata and
/usr/lib/<triplet>/eatmydata.sh). The rewrite (courtesy of tg, thanks!) follows
the path of the current one, but in a more sane writing (and, as a side effect,
improves speed and fixes a couple of corner case bugs (e.g. adding
LD_LIBRARY_PATH allows the use of chroots with a version < 82 of eatmydata and a
host with > 82; it also fixes quoting issues, a $PATH field splitting bug)).

I'm already mailed it to upstream, and even if I'm waiting for a reply I'm quite
sure he'll accept it.


The package I intend to upload is currently in experimental, versioned as 82-5.
A full debdiff is available at
http://www.mapreri.org/debian/debdiffs/libeatmydata/82-4_82-5.debdiff
An unstable upload would just be a no-change upload of this.



Thanks for all the efforts you are putting in releasing Jessie :)

Unblocked.

(You don't need to credit your package sponsor in the changelog. The
changelog is for changes; this is merely a property of the upload.)
