Yes, I have updated patches, removed those included upstream, adjusted
patches etc, not blind stuff. I do packaging also since about 20 years ;-)

Muffin was the most complicated part, with lots of changes. Here someone
who has done the previous packaging should check my changes.

I agree, since there were not changes in the symbols.

build-deps are for 4.0, meaning that no old packages was used.

Ah, ok, thanks. I searched for a README.source (which normally documents
these changes, but there wasn't one).
