Looks like we've found the problem.  It's due to the updated
packaging not applying the patches in debian/startpar/patches.
Looks like a simple enough fix.  If we move debian/startpar into
a patch, then the entire patchset can go into debian/patches so
it's all automatically applied.

Not entirely sure why I've not seen this on amd64 though.
