Hello Dmitry.

I'm very much interested in this package myself, and
wanted to do some packaging as well, but got distracted
by other things, and especially by the famous 32/64bit
user<=>kernel space interface issues we found recently
(there was several threads on LKML about it and a feature
LWN article).

I looked at your packaging, it looks sane at first, but
you did quite a few things all in one go, so it makes
me a bit nervous.  Especially, did you test transition
from autofs5 to autofs, does it work correctly?

I'd love to sponsor this package, and maybe to become
a co-maintainer if that's welcome in any way, but
unfortunately I've no time in a few days to work with
it, -- as you may know, we all russians have a long
weekend, due to the Victory Day, so I'll be unavailable
(and away from computers) up to May-10.

Can you wait for a few days please? :)  Unless someone
else wants to sponsor this package ofcourse!  I will
try to find some time in these days to check it all
too, but I can't promise.  BTW, Monday (tomorrow) have
a good chance to have me semi-available :)

Thank you, especially for doing this packaging!  The
new packaging and the care with which you do things -
I like it!
