   * Update patches for new upstream version:
-      - Drop man-page-args.patch and man-page-order.patch:

-        texinfo now anyway.

-        upstream-print_insn_rl78-workaround.patch:
-        Already applied upstream.
-      - Update linuxthreads_signal_handling.patch and
-        gdb-6.5-bz185337-resolve-tls-without-debuginfo-v2.patch
+    - Drop man-page-args.patch and man-page-order.patch:
+      Manpages are dead to us now (not DFSG free), and the source is in
+      texinfo now anyway.
+    - Drop upstream-arm-catch-syscall.patch and
+      upstream-print_insn_rl78-workaround.patch:
+      Already applied upstream.
+    - Update linuxthreads_signal_handling.patch and
+      gdb-6.5-bz185337-resolve-tls-without-debuginfo-v2.patch
   * debian/gdb-minimal.manpages: Remove because manpages are dead to us
   * debian/rules:
     - Update for the new release.
