Bah! I didn't even see that, sorry. That was left over from some earlier
quilt tinkering. Will remove it straight away.

It's been so long I'm not sure. I'll do this one from scratch again.

Off the top of my head, one of these upstream hadn't fixed at the time, a
couple were basically duplicates, and I don't recall the other off the top
of my head. Before resubmitting the debdiff, I'll also look these up again
and comment in the bug. Yes, if they need attention, I fully plan on
handling them as well.

I'll also resubmit with the intrepid patch next time.

Thanks as always for your patience as I get accustomed to these processes
Jamie!
