How about:

"In IcedTea7, patches for OpenJDK are applied directly to our OpenJDK forest.
Again, when conducting backports, use exact patches (via hg export/import) and
do not mix in additional changes.

Once a change has been made to the forest, IcedTea7 needs to be
updated to download the new changeset(s), which involves updating the
changeset identifiers and checksums in Makefile.am.  A script called
update_tarballs.sh is provided in the scripts subdirectory of the
IcedTea7 repository for this purpose.  This is run by specifying the
path to download the tarballs to as an argument.  If the tarballs
have already been downloaded, gen_changeset_and_sha256sums.sh can
be used directly to generate the changeset identifers and checksums.
Once the script(s) have been run, the new values can be find in
/tmp/changesets and /tmp/sums, ready for import into Makefile.am.
The change to Makefile.am requires a ChangeLog entry as usual, and
should describe the new changeset(s) being imported."

If that sounds fine, I'll add it to the wiki.
