OK, I looked through the debdiff. Other than the files patched
by me in the new releases, all of those other changes are
a) autotools reboostrap
b) doxygen documentation regeneration
I can backport this to 1.2.1, since it's a minor change, but all
that autotools rebootstrapping will just go into the debian
.diff.gz instead of the upstream tarball, which is IMO messier.
The same files will change either way; the only difference is
where they get put.
This is excluding the doxygen docs. With a backport, these
wouldn't get regenerated. However, this is just due to a
change in the unstable doxygen; the actual content is the
same.
