Please note that this is not a general request to put in new
microreleases. The complete diff was provided, and we do not plan to
put in further upstream updates. This is just a bunch (some 10)
individual commits, and I don't particularly care whether they are
called '4.0 final' or 'merge fixes from upstream'.

That was my concern as well. The other fixes are regressions from
hardy, and thus acceptable in an SRU. How much of the diff is related
solely to LSB compatibility, and would disappear if that was taken
out?
