For the record: they asked for some help in Ask Ubuntu Chat, and I assisted.

Here's what I did to assist:

(1) Walked them through the use of `quilt`. Stated that they should have each upstream patch as its own in `quilt` because of the Origin dep3 headers, but that can be debated.
(2) Spot-checked their backporting of the patch. They had a couple style errors and indentation on their first bits.
(3) Guided them with the DEP3 headers. Because they're needed.
(4) Stylistic suggestions / revisions to their changelog entry, cause they didn't state what files were added/changed/etc. which is important in a changelog.

Additional things:
(5) BUILD TEST! Built in sbuild with a vivid-amd64 test.

What needs to be done is a runtime test, possibly with this landing in -proposed and then being 'installed' from -proposed as a test to see if it resolves the problems.

(It's also why I was doing some minor triage of the bug, 'cause they asked for help)
