Yes, this is basically my main intention. Upstreaming all these tiny patches
means that they don't have to be carried around in Debian anymore and they
become available to every other distribution who wants to use Zero on the
non-Hotspot platforms.

Zero receives extensive testing within Debian as people on platforms like
MIPS*, ARMv4T and similar depend on it as their only implementation of
the JVM.
