Admittedly I didn't read the email as properly as I should have, and he did add the relevant emoticon, so no worries. Rolling your own is remarkably easy. Someone suggested this "gist", which I didn't use, but it gave me the info for the patches: https://gist.github.com/mattwhite/86de50d30134129e44ef I then made a lenny chroot, noticed it already had all the patches up to 39, so I downloaded 40 thru 54, copied the dpatch shell stuff at the top of the existing patches to each of the new ones, added them to the relevant variable in debian/rules, and built the package. Built cleanly no problem. I actually forgot to update debian/changelog, so my package are sort of rubbish anyway.
