Two things:

(1) Jon deleted lots of .svn files that really don't belong into the
package. They want them to be added again.

(2) They want the package to use a patch system instead of the inline
patch that it is currently using.

Especially (2) is a total waste of time, considering that any serious
work on the package would start by re-merging with debian first, which
is not possible at this point of the release cycle.
