Right, I strongly recommend not to use an epoch, as then we'll never ever be able to sync to Debian any more. > * From the debian/changelog of the Ubuntu branch, it looks like Rodney and > Martin have made in-tree changes, not all of which have been applied > upstream.

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.
