Looks okay to me, approved. I just wonder why we need a patch for a native package?

[Alexander Sack (asac)]

its not done natively ... its a upstream release and a cherry-pick patch from a commit done after the release we packaged.

I have promoted desktop-webmail. I will wait for it to turn up in main and then seed it.

And seeded, with a netbook-meta upload.
