This is partly my fault for assuming what you'd done, rather than 
checking, but it appears that the fixes included in this upload are not 
currently in unstable, which is one of the basic requirements for 
updates via p-u. Further, p-u now has a higher version number than the 
package in unstable.

As it stands currently, our choices for Saturday's point release are 
either deciding to skip the dpdk update until 10.2, or asking ftp-master 
to push the package from p-u to unstable (and testing) during the point 
release.
