Hi Louis, I just noticed you replied to that bug. You only sent your email to 791...@bugs.debian.org which does not go to the submitter so I didn't see it.

No, I don't need a backport, but I think kexec for ARM has been accepted upstream in the meantime. The changelog for 1.6.0-1 mentions ARM64 so maybe it's time to add it to debian/control? -- Martin Michlmayr HPE Linux, Hewlett Packard Enterprise
