"A patch" is somewhat of a misnomer, given:

The last two appear to have been replaced by the second and third, which
is annoying but not the end of the world.  The first patch seems to have
disappeared entirely.

There's also a change to maintainers / uploaders which isn't mentioned.

While I'm happy to believe that a number of the patches are required to
fix building with gcc-4.7, these at least don't look like they are:

 patches/0007-Fixed-the-FPT-version-of-bond-order-assignment.patch       |  447 
++++
 patches/0008-Added-MAX_PENALTY-option-to-bond-order-assignment.patch    |  975 
++++++++++
 patches/0009-Fixed-a-bug-in-the-AssignBondOrderProcessor.patch          |  271 
++

Indeed some of those look like they may well introduce ABI changes if
the changes are reflected in libball.

This obviously isn't a gcc 4.7 fix:

 patches/0011-Fix-compilation-of-Python-bindings-with-new-sip-vers.patch |   25 

It may well be needed for the package to build in unstable now, but it's
certainly not covered by "Fix compilation with g++ >= 4.7".

Was simply forcing building with gcc 4.6 considered as an option?

Regards,

Adam
