Comment 13 for bug 212370

@Julian: that changeset appears to be included in lm-sensors 3.3.0, which is now packaged in Debian. We're carrying a couple of deltas from Debian which is preventing a sync to the latest version. I've subscribed Micah and Bryce to get their feedback, but I think at least two of the deltas can be dropped:

lm-sensors-3 (1:3.2.0-1ubuntu3) oneiric; urgency=low

  * fix sensors-detect won't recognize 3.0 kernel fix to handle
    older versions correctly. (LP: #797001)

lm-sensors-3 (1:3.2.0-1ubuntu2) oneiric; urgency=low

  * fix LP: #797001 - sensors-detect won't recognize 3.0 kernel
    - add debian/patches/101_detect_3_0_kernel_version.patch
    - update debian/patches/series

lm-sensors-3 (1:3.2.0-1ubuntu1) natty; urgency=low

  * Add 100_recommend_using_upstart.patch: Recommend use of upstart rather
    than init-script. (Thanks Michael Basse)

I don't know for sure, but I think we may still want to carry the upstart one, in which case, we'll need to do a merge instead of a sync request.

Also note that as of lm-sensors 1:3.3.0-4 the source package was renamed to just "lm-sensors"
