Hello Thomas, I've prepared an MR: https://salsa.debian.org/openstack-team/third-party/openvswitch/-/merge_requests/6 The changes look quite simple and they are based on the Ubuntu package. Exact same upstream snapshot is used, so that we know it's been tested. I have build-tested it in a chroot with libdpdk-dev from experimental. Please, can we get this sorted soon? Would you be OK with an NMU to experimental? Thank you! Kind regards, Luca Boccassi
