You aren't really risking anything if you are not using our VCS right
now. SVN is in a very sorry state, it's a total mess, so if you want to
re-upload 4.7.0.9 + trivial bugfix patches of your choice in a separate
folder I'm totally fine with that, just let me know before hand.

At some point I was considering doing 4.7.0.10 + temporary add all the
stuff that is in git after the tag in a separate folder for quilt, but
some paths were changed in 4.7.0.10 as compared to 4.7.0.9 and one needs
to be extra careful to not to screw anything up.

And then Squeeze was coming so basically I've given up, because it's
better to have 4.7.0.9 that somehow works than screw it right before
release.

I'm desperately trying to get back on track and repackage 4.7.5.2
properly, but it's an unimaginable amount of work that I have now, I
barely have time to get some sleep... so sorry about being inactive,
it's not malice against Debian, but just real life problems.
