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
