I would have to go find the 4.4BSD-Lite2_import.sh script, but I
would of either imported the one from 4.4, or I would of imported
the gnu one into gnu/.

It would of been pretty impossible to live without patch
at that time so I doubt very much that the respository
had it missing for more than a day or three, there was
the time period from the import of 4.4 to the completion
of the 2.0 ncvs repository, though that was only days, the
there was the lag while we waited for Greenman/Dyson to
fix the missing bits and to get make world running again,
but after that we would of had the same patch we had in
1.x as that is external code and uneffected by the lawsuit.
