I took care of this before noticing this mail. Trust me, I did the merge
without reference to merge-o-matic's rather confused output in this
case. :-) There was one remaining changes in Ubuntu, which I filed as
Debian bug #488100, and a build problem noticed as a result of the
upload, which I filed as Debian bug #488101. Both are now fixed in
Debian and so we are now in sync.

Yes, sounds like that's best to go upstream ...
