He is being really childish if he is intentionally making things break
for no good reason.
Worse comes to worse, I'll redo the patch like I did before.
Don't let an overzealous upstream tell us what we can and cannot do with
free source. We are allowed to change it, and do whatever we want with
it. If he makes it so we can't, then it isn't free anymore and the whole
issue is moot, since we need to find a isofs creation tool that is free.
Tell upstream to stay out of Debian business.
