Yes, I didn't mean to imply to maintain that branch indefinitely, but
only until all changes have been merged upstream. Ideally this happens
before the next upstream release, but as we have learned, we cannot
expect this to happen (really) soon from now. Until then, it will be
easier for lame upstream to review your/our changes in the gitweb on
git.debian.org and incorporate them in the upstream CVS repository.
