Yeah, Kris had asked for it.  Your patch pointed out something though,
you had added another chunk of the HEAD version that I hadn't added
(range 502100, 502128,).  But I'm not quite sure what to do about that
because the packages-5-current directory is gone from the FTP sites.

Anyone know for sure?
