The upstream Github repository has a few open pull requests that fixes some
bugs with lm-sensors. Unfortunately, upstream appears to be unmaintained, so
could you please include the patches in Debian's copy of the package in the
meantime?

In particular, the following 2 PRs fixes issues that impacts me directly:
 - https://github.com/hramrach/lm-sensors/pull/12
 - https://github.com/hramrach/lm-sensors/pull/11
But I imagine the other open PRs might be useful to be include as well

Hi,

This just got merged upstream and will be in the new upstream version.

Upstream disagree on this one, and there is further discussion. Do not
hesitate to participate.

Regards
Aurelien
