The no-op changes to the patches you haven't changed (i.e. the first 56)
are rather noisy.

  I'm sorry, this is one of the current shortcomings of gitpkg, which we find quite comfortable otherwise to deal with such a complex package. 

 

Some of the new patches also appear to include unrelated changes; for
instance:

+Subject: [PATCH] Fix PixelColor off by one on i386
[...]
+-        "XmlMissingElement", "<levels>, slot \"%s\"", slot);
++        "XmlMissingElement","<levels>, slot \"%s\"",slot);

  These are cosmetic fixes that come from the upstream patches also fixing the security issues, we didn't feel like editing upstream commits.

 

Assuming that the resulting package has been tested on Jessie, please go
ahead.

  Yep, I've just checked it works fine, I'm uploading right away.

  Thanks !

      Vincent
