These packages are mainly for fixing the "exit 1"-bug. I did include some
other small bug fixes, but in this case I wasn't sure how to fix it
(can I simply remove these files without breaking anything?) and I can't
see why these packages must fix this "normal" bug.

In which files did you find the contradicting statements?

Same as above: I don't want to change anything if I'm not sure if it can
break something.
