Mathieu,

One of the things where Debian differs from upstream (but not new) is to stick with mpath[0-9]+ rather than mpath[a-z]+.
This is in patch 0002, iirc.
Can we switch over or (easier) rebase/move it toward the end of the series?

If it's not possible to switch over (we already know where to fix things for d-i), I'd ask to at least move that patch to the end of the series, and rebase it when required.
It's currently an inconvenient when backporting patches from upstream (many of which are rooted in a change that it complicates to do).
I believe the work to make the change is worth it / lesser than that work for backporting due to keeping it.
