I see that you've been working with upstream, trying to resolve this.
Thanks a lot for that.
The latest stable release 3.22.5, contains your patches.

What's unclear to me is whether your patches replace the above two
patches and we can drop them now, or if we still need them (for
Ubuntu/Unity).
I've CCed William, from the Ubuntu side. Maybe you can confirm, that
those patches are safe to drop now or if they are still needed.

Regards,
Michael
