 I understand that there are unimportant (for debian) commits in all 85,
 and you exclude them.
 But the commit list I wrote in my previous mail contains important
 ones. So they are recommendation from me. Of course the choice is yours.
 If we think the word bugfix strictly, you should pick
 
 ca0e87b 2013-04-20 aufs: new copyup 6/6, the inode attributes
 724b70b 2013-04-20 aufs: new copyup 5/6, actually unlock the parent and relock
 ead9579 2013-04-20 aufs: new copyup 4/6, aufs_rename() always copies-up the 
 src dentry
 8b550ff 2013-04-20 aufs: new copyup 3/6, aufs_link() copyup dentry using 
 src_dentry's name
 8a4170f 2013-04-20 aufs: new copyup 2/6, au_pin supports temporary 
 unlock/relock
 c90d846 2013-04-20 aufs: new copyup 1/6, copyup as a hidden name
 
 too. They are for the bug Al Viro pointed out.
 As my very personal opinion, the problem will not occur while it is
 surely a bug. Theoritically it should be fixed and these commits did.

These are quite big changes that seem to carry a risk of regression (in
fact you listed several fixes for regressions).  Since you say the bug
being fixed is not that big a risk itself, this does not seem like a
sensible change for a stable update - particularly as you won't provide
any further regression fixes for 3.2.x.

  I can change the version string again if you think it should have
  'debian' in it.
 
 Yes please. It is important.

I will do this but it is now too late to include this change in the
Debian 7.2 point release.

Ben.

This release contains a commit for 3.11, request loop module. But this

another solution is decided finally. The solution will be included in
