11 fai (3.2.10) unstable; urgency=low

13 * add texlive-latex-recommended and texlive-fonts-recommended to
14 build-depends-indep which fixes FTBFS (closes: #497683),
15 add cfengine2 as recommends to fai-client (closes: #442843),
16 remove mknbi from fai-docs recommends
17 * Init.pm: really add important bugfix (494784) that was only fixed in svn
18 but not in 3.2.9 upload (closes: #494784), fix typo in variable name
19 * Volume.pm: ignore output line of parted containing "Model:"
20 (closes: #497066)

22 add pattern for KVM devices like /dev/vd[abcd]X (closes: #494426)
