Thanks for working on this! A few comments:

a) I find it somewhat confusing that the changelog says that it includes 11_no-ssp.patch and then later says that it's been renamed to 12_no-ssp.patch.

b) I also find it a bit confusing that "include the no-ssp patch" and "build with -fno-stack-protector" are separate points, yet the no-ssp patch is exactly what makes it build with -fno-stack-protector.

c) I believe the current practice is not to bother documenting that Original-Maintainer mangling and all that.

Suggested resolution for a)+b):

Add a bullet point to the "remaining changes" part, that reads something like:
   - 12_no-ssp.patch (formerly 11_no-ssp.patch): Build with -fno-stack-protector

The 12_no-ssp.patch line is too large (for one character) other than that it looks good to me, i'm changing that and uploading. Thank you for your contribution.
