The beauty of dh-autoreconf is that it does and then undoes reconfigured each time so there's nothing to worry about. We don't need a patch.

The drive for running reconfigured is primarily for supporting newer ports and other features as they are added.  This isn't a concern for oldstable, so not reconf'ing there is perfectly fine. 

It is better if it builds unmodified for all releases, but it doesn't have to build identically.

It looks like it's getting really close to ready. I want to wait until late in the week to upload again to see if we get any more Debconf translations in. There is time yet to make sure it's sorted.
