I resumed on this task.
008_src was split in other 008_* patches.
I will submit them to Tomasz, and sort them in 3xx/4xx (I preferred not to
submit them a few hour before his release).

I removed the easiest parts.

What is remaining:
  * 006_libmisc.dpatch
    + chowntty.c
      I'm not sure we should keep this one. It was introduced in the first
      debian 4.0.3 and was not present in the previous 200xxxxx-xx version
      I still don't see the rationale.
    + failure.{c,h}
      I still don't see the rationale. I will check google.
      such patch was already applied upstream (on other files), so maybe
      it should be kept.
  * 008_src.dpatch
    + login.c
    + su.c
      these patches are quite long. It will be difficult to split them,
      seek the rationale in the changelog, and check if applied upstream
      (which has a lot of changes since 4.0.3)

  * other 0xx
    They either require no or just a little work

Looks nice. I will be there.
We will see if it's too short/ambitious ;)

PS: you did not commit the patches for the last sarge and sid packages.
