Heh, I *just* finished the update myself and came up with very similar
patches to yours.

Ok.  I’ll take this instead of my revert of your revert :)

The wording is odd here, but the patch is the same as mine.

I found that using the “#:emacs ,emacs” makes the tests pass, so I’d

I did the same but also took the sources from git because the generated
tarballs are not reliable.

I’ll push a mix of our patches to master in the next few minutes.

Thanks!
