FYI, you can see the patches we're carrying at:
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches/ubuntu/karmic/screen/karmic/files/head%3A/debian/patches/

The vast majority of these patches predate my involvement and are
merely inherited from Debian.

The one that I most importantly want to get upstream is the trivial
33increase_max_winmsg_renditions.dpatch:
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/%7Eubuntu-branches/ubuntu/karmic/screen/karmic/annotate/head%3A/debian/patches/33increase_max_winmsg_renditions.dpatch

How would you like to proceed?  Should I repost each and every one of
these individually to the list?  Or can you take a look at each of
them, and cherry pick the ones that are immediately acceptable, and we
can debate the rest?
