Hi,

Given that I've been keeping an eye on derived distros for dpkg deltas
for some time now, I thought I could give a hand with the next sync
with Debian by providing a list of patches not yet integrated and a
list of files whose changes can be discarded as they should have been
integrated one way or another.

That would not imply just blindly discarding stuff, having someone else
go through the delta would also be good in case there's anything I've
missed.

Whoever is going to do the sync, feel free to contact me, on this
thread, offlist or on the #debian-dpkg channel on oftc, whichever you
prefer.

regards,
guillem
