That would be the patch in comment 2. I am not sure if it's worth breaking up that patch further, from the technical point of view it would be best to take it completely, to ensure a high quality package for the LTS release. I put quite some effort into the merge and testing it (for months now). I am afraid I don't have so much time I can start all over with newer patches. (It doesn't fill me with Ubuntu love to see my efforts wasted either.)

For maintaining it in Hardy, staying close to Debian and upstream is a definite advantage.

Either way, not so many people use or need to use this package. In that sense, maybe the most important change in the merge debdiff is the updated documentation and description, which can help keeping people from installing this package when they shouldn't.
