I do believe these patches will not break existing installations.
Upstream has been maintaining a branch with only fixes, that is now well
tested on many non-debian systems. Almost of the bugs that are fixed
here put production in danger.
You do raise the case of two fixes that could probably be dropped. I
would like to try to keep all upstream patches tagged bug, critical or
medium for simplicity, as this looks reasonnable with this upstream.
