Hi Balint,

I did a scan through all the bugs with patches yesterday, and I'm planning 
to do a team upload later this week, once I get some sleep post-Debconf. 
:) I think most of the outstanding patches are fine. #613903 and #710167 
require further work, but expect to see all the rest fixed in the next 
upload.

Unless I'm misreading, I don't think sbuild has any outstanding RC bugs. 
There's #633434, which affects oldstable only; I could pursue fixing 
that, but people are probably better off using the version in 
squeeze-backports anyway.

If you have time to help with patch review for any of the outstanding bugs 
with patches, that would be awesome.
