As far as I can tell, upstream has not responded to those links, and even
appears dead since May 2010.

So, unfortunately, we have no reasonable expectation that your upstream
patch geeqie patch will ever make it in.

So, yeah, I'd prefer that you at least report a debian bug to give us some
hope of not carrying this delta indefinitely. (I realize that with a
non-active upstream, there probably wont be much movement in debian
either, but a clean sync is much easier than a merge).
