Whichever you think is easier, really; I prefer to err on the side of
more/smaller commits, personally, but there are advantages either way.
I'm not completely happy with debian/patches/10_detect_gnu-kfreebsd.patch,
so you might want to hold off on that one, or improve it: pretending that
kFreeBSD is Linux seems a bit of a hack (even though the build system really
wants to be checking for GNU rather than Linux, and both have GNU userland).
The approach I've just committed to quakespasm seems cleaner, but in
DarkPlaces it might need some more complex changes elsewhere.
I've just added one more patch, to fix builds on non-x86 (which came out
more intrusive than I'd hoped).

I've improved the descriptions of both the type-safety-related patches,
hopefully that's enough?

I didn't need to do that in the end - I used the TryExec field to hide the
menu entries for the mission packs if appropriate data packages aren't
installed. Best of both worlds :-)
