Hi Thomas,

patches for any and all of the problems below would, as always, be
gratefully appreciated. In particular I am unsure of how to resolve the
openvswitch-datapath-dkms issues, do you have any ideas?

There are also a number of problems flagged below that I do
not understand the source of:

* I am unsure why there are errors in the openvswitch-ipsec postinst and
  postrm scripts as that package does not provide such scripts.
* Likewise, the openvswitch-controller package does not supply a
  postrm script but an error is flagged against it.

Also, it would be useful to know specifically which of the issues
listed below you regards as serious.
