Thanks for the debdiffs! Unfortunately, the do not apply (patching the series file fails on each). That was easy enough to fix and I reviewed the debdiffs against the upstream changes and they seem ok, so I am going to upload after fixing up the debdiff. How did you generate these? Did you test the patched packages? Also the upstream patches included updating the testsuite. It would have been best to integrate that into your patch.

Since the testsuite is enabled in the build, and it passes for all releases, so between the simplicity of the patch and the in build test suite, I'll upload.
