Not that it's a blocker, but do you know if they're planning on testing
the package once it's uploaded, before the point release?

+samhain (2.8.3a-2) stable; urgency=medium

In general we'd suggest 2.8.3a-1+deb7u1 here; -2 is okay as long as
there's never been a package in the Debian archive with that version.

+        seems to be the source of problems and segfaults in many different
+        architectures (Closes: #533860, #657307)
+      - Disable dnmalloc for s390x, as it is done for s390 already 
+        (Closes: #733875)
+  * Fix use of /var/run/samhain, which is created by the init.d script since
+    version 2.6.2-1:
+        - Remove the /var/run/samhain directory when the package is purged
+        - Do not ship /var/run/samhain in the package file

These look okay; thanks.

+    since there have been reports of the previous confguration
+    (SetMailAddress=root@localhost, SetMailRelay=NULL) not working since
+    samhain tries to retrieve an MX record for 'localhost' from the DNS
+    (Closes: 709754)

I think you meant #709753 here; #709754 is an erlang bug.

Is samhainrc generally customised by users? More specifically, is this
likely to lead to conffile prompts for a majority of users on upgrade?

diff --git a/sql_init/samhain.mysql.init~ b/sql_init/samhain.mysql.init~
deleted file mode 100644
diff --git a/sql_init/samhain.oracle.init~ b/sql_init/samhain.oracle.init~
deleted file mode 100644
diff --git a/sql_init/samhain.postgres.init~ b/sql_init/samhain.postgres.init~
deleted file mode 100644

I'm assuming these are cruft and thus intentionally removed from the
package, but it would have been helpful to mention that (and preferably
changelog it).

Adam
