Hi Marc,

what you can check:

- do the regression tests run trough (failures are ignored at build time, as its fails sometims on the more "special" architectures, forgot to enable tests again for bullseye....). You are looking for scons check and the following output.

- if they are not happy, check if the reason is a changed date from 1999 to 2021 or something like that, similar to whats in the diff. quilt doesn't patch binary files, so I've disabled thoses test in Debian, but some are left in the patch.

You could also take the upstream source, apply your patch, merge the current regression test folder and run scons check there, although that might show some other bugs that were fixed since 3.20.

But in general, if scons check is still happy, chances are good that things are not badly broken :)
