Yes, I know that there are patches but that should be 0.9.1+zcp1 then
not 0.9.2.

First thing would be to file bugs against Debian's libvmime package
describing what the patches do and why they should be applied. Getting
these applied upstream would certainly help too.

I also wonder if we can _run_ giraffe without these patches (maybe
experiencing some bugs)?
