[Pkg-zfsonlinux-devel] zfsutils not in NEW?

First, thanks for your work to bring the ZOL packaging into mainline 
Debian, it's great to see and very much appreciated!

I see that the ITP has had a lot of work, and an upload is pending in 
the NEW queue, which I'll get to doing some testing on as soon as it's 
approved.

I'm running an amd64 kernel with a 32-bit userland, and would like to 
test the zfsutils package built for i386. I didn't see where you had the 
packaging vcs repo though, can you point me in the right direction so 
that I can try building zfsutils for i386 while waiting on the NEW 
processing?

I've built the 0.6.2 modules for spl and zfs directly from the upstream 
sources and they load fine into the 3.10-7-amd64 kernel, and am running 
the zpool and zfs commands directly out of the build directory in an 
amd64 chroot to create and test the filesystem, but that's obviously an 
initial test only.

The timing for the NEW upload works out well for me, since I'm doing 
some evaluations between btrfs and ZFS for a new home storage server. 
I've elimnated btrfs with its own RAID 1, but am still looking at 
running it in single mode over an mdadm RAID1.

Thanks,
Joel
