I didn't mean to suggest you had specifically endorsed a new upstream.

I can briefly recap the 4 changes in the upstream versus what we would
have carrying patches instead:

1. old patch from us to fix import (in trixie)
   -> no net source code change

2. new patch from us to allow log rotation to be implemented cleanly
   -> no net source code change

3. small change affecting wtmpdbd which we do not build
   -> no change to Debian binary

4. improved error strings
   -> more user-friendly error messages. Not needed but not a risk.

I have no problem with reworking to ship just the first two patches
instead if required - I opted for the new upstream because I thought
that was cleaner and clearer.

Thanks,

Andrew
