Bug#864085: unblock: dnsmasq/2.76-5

[? <srk@debian.org>]

Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org
Usertags: unblock

Please unblock package dnsmasq


The dnsmasq package in testing has a serious problem when dns-root-data is
installed, due to changes in the format of the dns-root-data files.
The effect is to render dnsmasq unusable.

There are several serious bugs filed to this effect, but they should
really be release-critical, eg 863896

There are also several bugs in the DNSSEC validation code, which are fixed
upstream, and really should be in stretch.

Therefore, if we can get dnsmasq-2.77-1, currently in unstable, into Stretch,
that would be a Good Thing. If not, it will need a point release.

Apologies for the short notice.
