Thanks. I've built a test source package including all necessary
patches and a test build is running now. Ben tells me, however, that
3.0.2 which includes all these patches and fixes is expected to come
out on Monday, and will be uploaded to unstable shortly after that, so
I don't think it makes sense to commit them as a separate patch set
anymore.
