Hi Filippo, hi bcache-tools maintainers,
[I'm not on the release team, just trying to give a hand.]

I acknowledge that giving Debian Jessie users the means to use bcache
feels somewhat important strategically, which *might* be a good enough
reason to make an exception to the freeze policy on this one.
On the other hand:
* Is there any strong reason why this use case cannot be addressed
via jessie-backports? (if it were *that* important to have in
Jessie, I guess the maintainers would probably have had it
uploaded way earlier)
* This package was accepted into Debian for the first time less than
3 weeks ago. What kind of testing has it seen?

OK, so it has taken ages to get a package in good shape and uploaded
to Debian. Hmm, this doesn't make me wish the release team lets this
package go into Jessie despite the freeze policy.
I would instead suggest maintaining bcache-tools in jessie-backports,
and getting it in good shape early enough for the Stretch freeze :)
What do the bcache-tools maintainers think?
Cheers,
