Hmm, I am apparently not knowledgeable at all in what "repackaging" means. Since this is the first in the series of 6 patches, I'll have to do a rebase (taking into account your other comments). I'm thinking of keeping this patch, but just as a comment for all the thousands of AUR packagers who blindly use the prototype without taking into account their particular needs. Any objections?
