These three patches are all the upstream changes to fix IPv6 issues:
- r650 is small and required for ipv6+zeroconf to work correctly;
- r673 is already included in 3.1-4ubuntu2 (oneiric and later);
- r678 may be considered optional, nice to include for full ipv6 support.

The regression potential of r650 is tiny, given the small size of the patch it is easy to verify.

Although fixing several other issues, 3.1-5 may not be suitable for a SRU due to unrelated packaging and path changes. Especially these:
    - 08_gnome-data-public-dirs.patch: install desktop and icon files for
      distccmon-gnome /usr/share/applications and /usr/share/pixmaps
      respectively (LP: #512288)
  * use dpkg triggers to dynamically generate/update compiler links
    based on the ccache packaging. Thanks to Daniel Schaal
    (Closes: #651670)

See also Bug #521165 for another small patch worth considering (also fixed in 3.1-5).
