The single MOST important fix is " - debian/patches/kubuntu_11_DHT_safetycheck.patch: Perform more validation on incoming DHT packets to prevent malformed DHT packets from crashing KTorrent."

Which gets reported, confirmed, or duped at least once or twice per day (i.e. bug 109184). However, from other Malone crashes (basically most open crasher bugs) and upstream's forum reports and talking to upstream devs, many of these scenarios are likely to cause crashing. I've already filtered out this from upstream SVN's big stream of changesets to bugs that I have seen others complain about that are actually pretty serious.

I use and participate upstream in KTorrent on a daily basis, and I am VERY confident that these changes will not introduce any regressions.
