I don't follow at all. We're doing diversions in maintainer scripts and
we forget to properly keep track of our diversions. With the new
upstream version, apparently some files got dropped and the knowledge of
the diversions got lost in the process. I think we can easily manually
drop the diversions now by adding them here [1], while contemplating a
saner and automated way of handling the underlying problem.
