I was browsing the debian package source and noticed the two attached debian
patches that should be upstream. I am not the author of these patches, but
the author's name is included at the top of the attached patches.

I contacted the author about whether he had submitted them upstream:

I tested the patches, and they do fix minor bugs:

It is already distributed by debian under the GPL, since it was applied to
