Patches for packager tweaks

[Daniel Zwolenski]

I'm guessing Danno would like to know how long he should expect to wait for
the patches he kindly contributed and linked to in that email to get
included. Seems like a fair and reasonable question and one I'd also like
to know the answer to.

Perhaps a linked question that I'd also like to know: is anyone actually
allocated to any work on the packager at the moment, and if not when are
they next going to be?
