Wow, thank you very much Alain!  I am glad to see that upstream has
accepted so many of these patches.

This much is fine, it should not be a problem to maintain the
Debian-specific patches and the svg doc patches.

We can re-name the debian-specific ones, such as kernel-mpi-libs which
should be kernel-debian-mpi-libs.

It sounds like upstream has made many of the above patches work for us,
and a little bit of work will fix the last few.

Merci beaucoup encore Alain, this is terrific news.  It will take a
little bit of work to forward-port what's left, and I'll try to make
some time in the next couple of weeks to make this happen.

That said, this will make it much easier to maintain the Debian Salomé
package going forward.  I am glad that we have a channel to work with
upstream on making Debian and its derivatives first-class platforms for
running this first-class engineering software suite!
