+This installs `open-iscsi` and `multipath-tools` as dependencies and registers the `truenas-multipath` storage type. From v4.0.2 on, the package requires the **exact same version** of `truenas-proxmox`, so apt always upgrades (or holds) the two together ([#299](https://github.com/TheGrandWazoo/freenas-proxmox/issues/299)).
