I'm sure there must be a better way to do this. I'll have
to take a closer look at it.
I am happy to keep the two one-liner patches as part of the
debian/patches queue as long as there is no better solution.
I applied 2, 3, 4 from the patch series and I'll push it later
once I confirm that make && make check is OK for me.
make && make check worked for me when building from the source
directory.
make check still has a few issues when run from a separate directory. I
believe that all of them happen because the files (i.e.
"../COPYING.LIB") uploaded to the VM are not found because they did not
exist in the build tree.
