Absolutely. I'm not saying these fixes are not needed, I merely
expressed an opinion that their place is not in the main source code,
but rather in a custom patch applied when creating packages for the
affected distribution(s).

Note that I am not in any way speaking for the project or its
developers, I'm just an interested outsider.
