    - 100_radeon-6.9.0-bgnr-enable.patch: Turn on option to allow xserver to
      skip drawing the root background window for the radeon driver. This
      will make the boot up sequence smoother by eliminating one flicker.
      TESTERS: Watch for corruption or other ill effects during boot up.
  * Switch to dpkg-source 3.0 (quilt) for the patch.
  * Add DEP-3 header to 100_radeon-6.9.0-bgnr-enable.patch.

Some notes:

 - The changelog in the description is probably correct wrt. the last merge point, but we already have a much newer version than that (wrt. FF)
 - the attached merge diff has quite a lot of noise (unnecessary removal of some files, which then get reapplied later on in this ominous debian/patches/debian-changes-1:6.12.191-1ubuntu1 -- can all of this please just get dropped? It seems the only really remaining change is the addition of 100_radeon-6.9.0-bgnr-enable.patch.

* The changelog description are the Debian changes since the last sync/merge. What else should be in the description? Should I mention the Ubuntu changes since the last sync/merge?
* The removals and creation of debian/patches/debian-changes-1:6.12.191-1ubuntu1 comes from moving to dpkg-source 3.0 (quilt) version. Instead of directly modifying the source, the changes are stored as patch. I wanted to avoid the modification of debian/rules. Attached the patch without the automatic modification due to dpkg-source 3.0 (quilt).

It was fine, I just wrote that down as kind of notekeeping, and for other members of -release.

Ah. Personally I don't like packages which change the packaging system to Debian for such a simple reason (since it creates large deltas like this), but with my -release hat on I don't object to it formally.

Adding one line to debian/source/format instead of hacking debian/rules is less error-prone and makes the diff file cleaner. Sadly the Debian package has direct source changes. The cleaned debdiff should work, too.

NACK, no need to change the packaging that much. Check debian/README.source how to enable the patch system.

Here is the updated patch. It modifies debian/rules instead of using dpkg-source 3.0 (quilt) format.
