This request never made it to debian-release, most likely due to the
size of the diff.
Sorry, didn't notice that!

What's the plan for after that point?
Same as for stretch and 16.11 LTS - if there are critical and/or
security related bugs that affect the branch, we will do our best to
backport the fixes as downstream maintainers.
This is partly my fault for assuming what you'd done, rather than
checking, but it appears that the fixes included in this upload are not
currently in unstable, which is one of the basic requirements for
updates via p-u. Further, p-u now has a higher version number than the
package in unstable.
As it stands currently, our choices for Saturday's point release are
either deciding to skip the dpdk update until 10.2, or asking ftp-master
to push the package from p-u to unstable (and testing) during the point
release.
Regards,
Adam
