Bug#773490: (pre-upload) unblock: gcc-mingw-w64/14.3

Hi,

I would like to know if the following changes to gcc-mingw-w64 would
be acceptable for Jessie, before uploading the package to unstable;
they fix #773342, a serious bug filed against mingw32 (upgrading from
Wheezy causes the package to lose its copyright file).

The debdiff is as follows:

Note that this package builds using gcc-4.9-source, and allowing it to
transition from unstable to Jessie would effectively mean pulling
unstable's gcc-4.9 source into Jessie too. If necessary I can upload
to unstable and upload again to t-p-u once the unstable package has
aged enough.

unblock gcc-mingw-w64/14.3

Regards,

Stephen
