 great!  this is *exactly* what i suggested be written up (note-form
is perfect), and exactly why i suggested it be written up as well [to
help others].

 now it will serve as a reminder for you as well, ian, in a few months
when this has dropped out of electrical memory in your brain.

 the only other thing that's missing is a [brief] list of repos to
download and compile up.  yes the patches have been submitted to the
list but it's unclear as to where and what they should be applied to.
a small group of people with massive amounts of experience will be
able to work that out but everyone else will not.

so, ben (re-cc'd) - is it clear now that this is reasonable to ask
about and relevant to ask for on the debian-arm mailing list?  apart
from having to make it clear by way of comparison was there _any_
mention of quotes my quotes project in the above?  if you do not
respond i will assume that you are happy and that you will stop making
adversarial assumptions.
