Hrm.

Some of these are things that I do think should be part of r0.

How about this, then:

- No new upstream release (I knew that was a long shot, but hey, I had
  to try)
- I do upload a package with the following patches:
  - #685610 (important bug, failure of name-based exports when not used
    as root filesystem; patch in the BTS)
  - http://nbd.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=nbd/nbd;a=commitdiff;h=a0c3244429ea367defc0867cea8b2f351581c9d5
    (make nbd-server not go berserk upon receipt of a 'list exports'
    packet; fixes a remote DoS; not RC because it's disabled by default,
    but bad enough that it shouldn't be in the release)
  - http://nbd.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=nbd/nbd;a=commitdiff;h=9c8f822c023732ca9871358e2d324257e0290707
    (or equivalent; there is still some discussion on that patch. Fixes
    a false positive for a "request out of range" error that triggers on
    32-bit machines only)

These three are the most important bugs that I'd like to see fixed in
the release. There are more things, but those aren't as bad.

Thanks,
