Bug Description

We are ahead of Debian due to https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=985047

ipxe | 1.21.1+git-20220113.fbbdc3926-0ubuntu1 | kinetic
ipxe | 1.21.1+git-20220113.fbbdc3926-0ubuntu1 | lunar

ipxe | 1.0.0+git-20190125.36a4c85-5.1 | stable
ipxe | 1.0.0+git-20190125.36a4c85-5.1 | testing
ipxe | 1.0.0+git-20190125.36a4c85-5.1 | unstable

It might be time to bump to a new commit on git. We're currently carrying a snapshot from January

Make sure to check upstream's CI for issues before pulling HEAD (or any given commit):

    https://github.com/ipxe/ipxe/actions?query=workflow%3ABuild+branch%3Amaster

If we anticipate a continuing need to pull from git, then LP: #1677874 "Missing dep8 tests" may be of value to address. At least, it could call valgrind like the upstream CI does.

Debian has still not updated and there are no major changes we got asked for.
So for 23.04 we plan to not go "further ahead" for now.

This should be re-evaluated now for mantic.
Per comment #1 the answer may still be 'wait', in which case just set state back to Incomplete.
