Bug#856148: unblock: ntfs-3g/1:2016.2.22AR.1+dfsg.1-0.1



Hello,

I ran diffoscope on the generated binary packages.  There is some noise
in the diff due to embedded build paths and varying build IDs, but
otherwise, the only difference is the contents of
const unsigned char boot_array[4136] in the .rodata section of
sbin/mkntfs

i.e.: Jan's proposed upload changes only the thing we expected it to.
But this in turn means that filesystems created by mkntfs will have
a placeholder instead of the first-stage loader of Windows.

Jan is at the Berlin BSP along with several DDs.  Normally a fixed
version would have been uploaded to DELAYED/10 allowing time for the
maintainer to pre-empt with another upload.

But - there would be no point uploading something to DELAYED if the
release time would not approve an unblock.  I think that is why this was
filed - intended as a request for comments about a speculative upload to
DELAYED/10.  You could follow-up with your own debdiff if you plan to
make your own upload for this?
