Interesting, it seems I missed that...
Your patchset differs from mine significantly. It seems you have reran
gnulib in there? I have found that it was easier to just add the missing
check code through patches and rerun autoconf, as it makes the patch
more readable...
Did the wheezy version compile and work correctly?
I have not worked on a jessie version so I can't comment on that...
Not sure how to handle the twin pacakges, sorry I missed your
packages...
