Hi Andreas,
thank you for the help.
For the quilt patches, please revert the switch to format 3.0 (quilt), as the
upstream patches are not always compatible with this format (but they are
compatible with quilt). I would really prefer keep the original upstream patch
instead of reformatting, as it is easier to make sure that we are using the
latest one.

This is a slightly modified copy of the PCRE library. We can not use the one
from Debian. I prefer to keep the lintian tag visible so that the issue stays
in our radar.

I can not help for this. But if that warning was already present before, and
if JEmboss works apparently well, I would recommend to ignore it.

Let's remove these menu entries for command-line programs.
