Fellow X packagers, The patch numbers are not being properly followed.
I have been submitting some patches upstream that are already fixed. They should be in a category not unlike patches from upstream so that we know that they can be deleted in the next version. I propose that 000 type patches should also include this class of patches such that 000 patches can just be deleted upon moving to a new upstream version. A patch of this type is 102, the sparc pci fix. I know that we may not know immediately when something like this is fixed, but when we know, it should be moved. Also, I have come across patches that are not labeled 900+ that are debian specific. I think that we need to promote these types of patches to the 900+ series patches. A couple patches of this type are 003 and 800, debian specific config patches. Please consider debian specificity when numbering patches.
