Hi Roger,

I haven't seen much response to this, and personally I'm awaiting seeing 
my --extra-package and --extra-repository patches (#700522, #714883) land 
in sbuild in Jessie. There are also a fair number of patches on the BTS 
awaiting merge. I'd like to do a team upload rolling up a bunch of the 
outstanding patches on the BTS. Does that sound good to you?

Are there any particular patches where you know something nonobvious I 
should pay attention to before merging?

I'll send a request to join the Alioth project so I can commit this upload 
to git.

Thanks,
