I would like to add that I would happily accept patches submitted to BTS
if it doesn't break anything. But I won't check some obscure logs just
to make life of Nexenta easier, and certainly not after I have seen so
much unrelated marketing blobs posted on {ubuntu,debian}-devel from
Nexenta people. So it's only your effort to supply enough
information/patches if you are interested in seamless recompiling of
debian packages on Nexenta.
