Bug#985678: ITA: rasdaemon -- utility to receive RAS error tracings

["Taihsiang Ho (tai271828)" <e@tai271828.me>]

Status update:
- Newer upstream is packaged for uploading to Sid
https://people.canonical.com/~taihsiang/rasdaemon-amd64/rasdaemon_0.6.8-1/
.
- Bullseye backporting is still on the way. I finished its testing
across arch with the above package.

= NEXT STEP =
In short, if someone:
1) could help us to review my packaging and
2) has permission to upload the package after reviewing

we can then resolve this issue.

Cheers,
Tai
