I don't mind at all - on the contrary, your contribution is great!

But I do have suggestions for doing even better in the future:

   * Inform us via the email address in the maintainer field, rather
     than (only) to me.  And use the maintainer field in our VCS to 
     ensure you get the latest one, in case it changed since last 
     packaging release.
   * Include Bug hint in patch or at least provide a URL, instead of
     just tagging Forwarding: yes.  Even if others (i.e. me) didn't
     do it for other patches.
     More info at http://dep.debian.net/deps/dep3/
   * Follow patch naming scheme as documented in debian/patches/README.
     Specifically - since you did not provide a Bug: hint - I suspect 
     that the provided patches was cherry-picked from upstream VCS 
     (rather than _pushed_ upstream) and thus more appropriately should
     use a leading 0, not 1.

I dare cc the Multimedia team this email.  Hope you are ok with that.


Kind regards, and thanks for your interest in Morituri,

  - Jonas
