It sounds like it, but probably someone who owns NVDIMM hardware will
need to test everything works.

Bug has "RFP" in the title, which means "Request For Package", which
means that no-one is working on packaging it and that it is requested
that someone package it. If you would like to package ndctl, please
read this page for info on how to get involved:
http://mentors.debian.net/intro-maintainers
The steps approximately:
Retitle bug #829257 from, RFP to ITP and set yourself to the owner of it.
Make a package of ndctl.
Upload the package to mentors.d.n
File a request for sponsor (RFS) bug report.
Wait for someone to sponsor the package.
Wait for the package to be approved.
If you can do these steps before December 25th there is a chance it
will be in Debian stretch, otherwise it will wait for Debian buster.
