If you look at the linux-iscsi.org link that Nicholas pointed at, it
actually does point to your targetcli-fb as the source package.

The fact that that Andreas then had a hard time finding documentation
and where to report problems, and things didn't work well for him is
obviously a problem, though.

And yes, he may have found the RTS repository because he followed the
Debian entry on linux-iscsi points not to your git tree, but to that
one, but hey, that's Debian. I sometimes suspect that they actively
search out the oldest possible source repository in their quest to be
"stable".
