I did not imply that upstream needed to be contacted here - I didn't 
know that.

My point was (and is) that you should not mark a patch as not needing to 
be passed upstream, without at the same time clearly explaining *why*.

This is similar to suppressing a lintian warning: add an explanation.


Kind regards,
