This looks pretty good. Can you change 71_exiq_grep_error_on_messages_without_size.patch to use the upstream fix (from that report), drop the "From" (this should have been Author: with Daniel van Eeden) and add an Origin: line, and finally mention the debian bug # in the changelog? Thanks!

I know about new way created by upstream, but I submitted debdiff before upstream patch. I wanted get it by merging next upstream release, but that's right, we can get it right now and drop with merging next upstream release. However, I updated everything and fresh debdiff is in attachments.
