I will do that today, no problem ?

Well, i will modify the pegasos patch today to do a last cleanup, before ...

... it could be in upstream.
I don't like the via-ide hack not being included, it makes the machine
unusable when a second ide disk is used. Did you tell me already where i
should best ask about this ? LKML, or linux-ide-devel or something such ?

Why not use dpatch ?
Works pretty well for other packages i handle myself. BAsically you have
to modify the debian/rules to call the dpatch stuff (3 to 4 lines
mostly) and then put all the patches in a debian/patches repository, and
hae those you want applied listed in a 00list or something such file
there.
Works pretty well, don't think you can have per arch/subarch patch
application though.
