Hi Jens, we usually try to keep dmidecode without Delta to Debian. For the SRUs Delta is fine and as I said if no one helps I can try to assist here. If you want to volunteer there is also the USBSD [1] where new people are guided to help themselfe and the community.
For the current release it would be great if Debian would pick that up and we coudl sync into Artful. Would you mind opening a Debian bug about moving to the current release (preferred) or at least picking this patch? Afterwards link the bug info here - that would be great.

E.g.: sudo /bin/ksh93 # /usr/sbin/dmidecode -s baseboard-manufacturer 2>/dev/null Supermicro Invalid entry length (16). Fixed up to 11. The original version (https://git.savannah.nongnu.org/git/dmidecode.git) however, works as expected: # /tmp/dmidecode -s baseboard-manufacturer 2>/dev/null Supermicro $ /usr/bin/lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available.
