I think I should clarify my previous, probably too brief, comment.
I asked on #ubuntu-motu for guidance on how to proceed with this ticket. It was agreed that 06_stolen_from_head.dpatch was too large to back out, so the http://lists.unix-ag.uni-kl.de/pipermail/vpnc-devel/2007-April/001498.html patch (r170) was applied and added to debian/patches as 09_dpd_timer_disable.dpatch, with a small change to set the DPD idle timeout default value to "0" for reasons already explained.

Michael Bienia has uploaded it to feisty-proposed, so my understanding is that yes, it will eventually get into Feisty.

No problem, thanks for talking me through the process and doing the SRU.

Yes, thanks for that. I guess it was getting late when I glanced over the debdiff and I completely missed the vpnc-script change. FWIW, I'm still running the package with that change in, with no ill effects, but I'm really not sure what it does so I agree with the decision to back it out. Thanks for updating the changelog as well -- I knew I was forgetting something!
