Just uploaded 3.2-1 to unstable. With the freezes to come, migration to testing will be more complicated until the release. Perhaps the sensible way to go is to wait until the Stretch release to introduce the change. If a RC bug happens in testing during the freeze, we should be able to quickly fix it in unstable with no additional changes. Otherwise the package may be dropped from stretch/testing. We must avoid this extreme situation. > I will keep the split-hyperscan versions up-to-date with the official > state of unstable/jessie-backports anyway (to be used internally by my > organization).

Beware that your current branch contains a lot of changes we don't need (ie, cleanups of your own commits). Please, push only the changes we are talking about (may require you to manually merge some commits before pushing to pkg-suricata) If you want, I can myself migrate the changes form your repo to pkg-suricata.
