In two days, dmidecode will have passed its 10 day waiting period, and
should be ready to go into testing.  As it is frozen (creating an
udeb), I need help from someone to get it into testing.  I start this
discussion a bit early, as I expect it to take at least two days to
make a decision. :)

The package currently in testing, version 2.6-1, was uploaded
2005-03-03.  I believe it is time to get the new and improved version
into testing.  This is the changelog since version 2.6-1:

dmidecode (2.7-2) unstable; urgency=low

  * Change priority for dmidecode from optional to important to
    match override file.

dmidecode (2.7-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * New upstream release.
    - Include new command line interface making it easier for scripts
      to extract the values they want.
    - Default output format is slightly changed.  This might break existing
      scripts, which should use the new command line options instead.
    - Added supprt for more products in vpddecode.
  * Remove David Z. Maze as uploader on request from Jeroen van
    Wolffelaar.  David is giving up package maintainence.
  * Removing 30_upstream_20050605 now included in release 2.7.
  * Updated Standards-Version to 3.6.2.  No changes.

And wearing my non-di-developer hat, I must say that having my package
frozen just because I was friendly and made an udeb available, is most
inconvinient, and I wish such hospitality would not be punished with
an unwelcome package freeze. :)

Cc to debian-boot, as the key to release an udeb probably is rooted
there. :)

Friendly,
