That would be done by calling "quilt pop" before building on every platform
except from kfreebsd-* (or something like that), with the freebsd patch being
the last one in the series. But I can take care of this one.

No worries, you don't need to be a DD to push to collab-maint repositories
(like valgrind's). You just need an acount on alioth.debian.org and request to
join collab-maint [0], then I'll sponsor your request (also see [1]).
