All, Could not get the package to build with MultiMail v0.49, even when attempting to use updated patches. So instead have created snapshots of the current v0.50 code from the authors git repository to work with, the most recent being the one from yesterday, 22 September 2015. Note that the authors git repository is at the SourceForge project [1], and which is also mirrored at GitHub [2].
Note also that with the current upstream code and an patched upstream Makefile, the 'hardening' related Lintian issues are no longer present. And although I'm considering moving the main packaging repository to Alioth, it is currently at: https://github.com/ftnapps/pkg-multimail So what is left is any further QA work that may be needed, and to see if the recent work that the author has completed might lead to a version v0.50 release in the near future.
