(Which includes patching linux.cf in debian/patches, which seems rather
 perverse; the debian/patches patch to the LinuxDebian section of linux.cf is
 still pretty massive.  Sigh.)

I spend my spare time either dealing with fd.o (for instance, the LDAP server
totally died again recently), or the modular tree, and already have enough to do

sure, I'd do it for Debian/Ubuntu.
