Hi Jacob,

The executive summary: Sorry, no.

We are past the point where we can accept "new" packages into Jessie.
We have already rejected several other similar requests.

However, I can recommend looking into having the package added to
jessie-backports.  Admittedly, it may be difficult until after the
Jessie release due to policy for accepting packages into backports.
  Please note that jessie-backports is maintained by a separate team
with their own policies.  My suggestion here is /not/ a pre-approval on
their behalf!

Yours truly,
~Niels

PS: Thanks for picking up fcoe-utils.  :)
