Why skip downstream patches and snippets? Often, these are necessry
to make the source actually compileable (e.g. if it uses '/bin/ls'
instead of 'ls', in case of type errrs -- e.g. abiword-explicitly-cast-
bools.patch, autotools changes (agg-am_c_prototype.patch)), remove bugs
(e.g a2ps-CVE-2001-1593)). These patches and snippets exist for a
reason.
Greetings,
Maxime.
