I was meaning packaging-specific changes in this case, not upstream changes.
Sorry for not being clear.

For Debian at least, we would most likely only ever pull in specific
changesets from upstream in order to fix a particular bug, that is we
would never introduce code not already committed into upstream CVS.
Currently, the exception is a single one-line difference we patch in:

This was written by Till, and I think it's been proposed on the list
for inclusion quite some time back. If it got lost, it would be
great if you could include this. This puts the menu entry in the
correct location on the File menu. IIRC, this would have broken GIMP
2.0/2.2, but is needed on 2.4/2.6. It's probably OK to commit now
2.2 is long obsolete.
