It seems you did; I have a few questions:

 - do now all patches in debian/patches get applied or only those that
   were listed in 00list before? (Or is this the same thing?)

 - I seem to remember you said quilt had a system of keeping track
   which patch depended on which patch instead of a simple linear
   order. What are the dependencies _now_? The old linear order, or no
   dependency at all, or did you examine all the patches and determine
   their dependencies by hand?

 - I tried looking at the diff of the commit of revision 328, but
   Subversion makes a horrible mess out of it: you renamed many files,
   which in itself should be fine, but subversion diff makes a diff
   that deletes the old name and creates the new one; I found no way
   to see what _changed_ in the files. Anybody knows a way to see the
   changes in the commit in a reasonably human-readable format?
