I think at this point we;d have to just take bits and pieces; the trees
have diverged a fair bit.

Of course, the problem is that dpkg's maintainers are the busiest
people in the project and the 1.4.1.x author, Klee, seems to be just
about the busiest guy alive - when was the last time anyone saw Klee?

If there's really enough interest I could be persuaded to do this, but
