Dear Maintainer,

I want to use collectd to monitor my UPS, but I’m not able to,
since collectd isn’t build with the --enable-nut flag.

Would it be possible to include support for this, either in the
collectd-core package or a separate collectd-plugin-nut one?

Thanks,

actually the collectd package has re-introduced the 'nut' module with
5.12.0-8 (uploaded to unstable on 2022-01-20; currently in testing).

so: would it be possible to upload collectd to backports?

side effects would be:
- hddtemp has been removed
- onewire has been removed
- (a couple of other modules have been removed for exotic archs like
kfreebsd/sha4/ia64/hurd/alpha/i386)
(personally i don't care for any of these, but would love to the have
'nut' module on my servers running "bullseye")
