Thanks a lot Arnaud.

This package uses a patching system [1,2] so you'll have to change your debdiff a bit:

1) rename LP397248.patch to something more descriptive like "crash-when-battery-charge-full.patch"
2) move it to debian/patches
3) build and test
4) get the debdiff

I can't tell when the next GPM revision will be released upstream, but this is something worth doing.

Also, you can go onto IRC (freenode) and ask someone from #ubuntu-motu to sponsor your patch when your done.
