debian/patches: 2 patches to forward upstream low

Among the 3 debian patches available in version 4.9-4 of the package, we noticed the following issues:

2 patches where the metadata indicates that the patch has not yet been forwarded upstream. You should either forward the patch upstream or update the metadata to document its real status.

Created: 2023-02-26 Last update: 2026-01-02 07:30

Standards version of the package is outdated. wishlist

The package should be updated to follow the last version of Debian Policy (Standards-Version 4.7.3 instead of 4.6.2).
