Still valid.

Still valid.

Still valid.

In the meantime (yeah, as usual a bit slow), I continued importing the
remaining Ubuntu changes:

11) wait for 3 seconds when loading firmware

      http://svn.debian.org/viewsvn/foo2zjs?view=rev&revision=241

12) upstream 'getweb' now installs ICM files into the directories of the
    correct drivers (I slightly modified Till's patch)

      http://svn.debian.org/viewsvn/foo2zjs?view=rev&revision=244

    This could also fix <http://bugs.debian.org/580690>.
