Hey Mitch! Thanks for filing an FFe. Before I can formally approve it, I
have some questions:

902a13b2 Rely on newly un-broken dmsetup
This adds the following constraint: dmsetup (>= 2:1.02.196-1~) which we 
unfortunately do not have, so we will have to patch this out for noble and keep 
the other patch. This shouldn’t make any issues because the patch 
0002-11-dm-mpath-fix-DM_UDEV_RULES_VSN-check.patch has existed for a while.

Does that mean we'll revert that commit in Ubuntu? Will there be
consequences? Will you test it to make sure this doesn't regress somehow
with other changes in?

857edc08 Merge branch 'real-socket-activation' into 'master'
This change was dropped in debian, this is a change we tried to get working but 
unfortunately could not finish.
63908850 d/NEWS: Add entry about socket-activation being now the default.
This change was dropped in debian, this is a change we tried to get working but 
unfortunately could not finish.
634733b6 Implement real socket activation of multipathd.service.
This change was dropped in debian, this is a change we tried to get working but 
unfortunately could not finish.
818e429c d/p/0007-multipathd.service-remove-Also-multipathd.socket.patch:
This change was dropped in debian, this is a change we tried to get working but 
unfortunately could not finish.

What does that mean in practice? We'll carry this as a delta? Why does
it not work as-is, though? And will there be regressions or any
consequences because of the above? Did you ensure there's no bug reports
in Debian with the above changes and that there's enough smoke test
coverage to ensure that everything's working as intended?

I mostly ask this because multipath-tools is an important and a key
package and is widely used. 0.9.4 -> 0.9.7 looks fine, these micro-
releases are also pretty stable. But I am just concerned the differences
b/w Debian and Ubuntu might have some consequences or something. Could
you confirm that those changes will be actively tested and hopefully
won't regress on our side? :)

** Changed in: multipath-tools (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Incomplete
