Right, I strongly recommend not to use an epoch, as then we'll never
ever be able to sync to Debian any more.

I really just sponsored a patch for Rodney back then. I'm afraid I
have no first-hand experience with the package itself, I never
actively used it. So I defer to Rodney for checking whether we still
need our patches.

Thanks,
