Is there any available discussion on why Debian has never packaged the new

There has not been enougth help to forward all our patches to the 4.1
release. Our cron version is heavily patched and moving to this
release requires a lot of time and testing.

Help with doing this would be appreciated.

Does Debian's cron live in a RCS of some sort? What would be useful in porting forward Debian's patches is being able to extract individual patch sets together with the rationale of them - as in SVN or in debian/patches/* or similar.

Is it correct that none of those things exists and thus one would have to run through and interdiff all individual Debian releases since the beginning of the packaging in 1996?
