The debianisation attached to this request for sponsorship has been
based on the Onboard package currently in the main yakkety repository.
On my uptodate Ubuntu yakkety installation, the debianisation provided
here successfully builds and the resulting packages seem to be running
fine here.

Could you please review the package for inclusion into the main yakkety
repository.

Don't hesitate to contact us if you need further information:
https://launchpad.net/~onboard/+contactuser or simply be writing in this bug thread.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Have a good day.

Francesco
