Dear Ubuntu Developers, As far as I am aware, the Ubuntu Backports Team has been inactive for years now, and backports requests and uploads just languish in Launchpad. Thomas Ward last proposed an effort to revitalise it over two years ago, but with no response. I believe he's no longer available

Louis, I can't sponsor your debdiff into backports, but be careful of ordering issues in your patch. clean() should be defined before the trap is set, and tmp should be defined before any point that clean() could be called. In general you should quote "$tmp" as well in case it ends up with spaces
