Please unblock package efivar
(Note this is my first unblock request ever, so please kindly let me
know if I've omitted anything important. I did review
https://release.debian.org/jessie/freeze_policy.html and hope I am doing
this correctly.)
This is to resolve #773412, an RC bug. This fix is necessary to allow
installation on 64-bit systems with 32-bit UEFI firmware (such as Bay
Trail systems). The only changes from what's in testing are the
inclusion of the following two patches, which come from upstream:
http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/collab-maint/efivar.git/tree/debian/patches/07-num_bits.patch?id=Debian/0.15-3
http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/collab-maint/efivar.git/tree/debian/patches/06-efi_variable_t.patch?id=Debian/0.15-3
Here is the debdiff between what's in testing and the version I would
like unblocked:
$ debdiff efivar_0.15-2_amd64.changes efivar_0.15-3_amd64.changes
