Thanks a lot for the quick reply! I'll definitely try those patches in the next upload (whenever it will be) for alpha. Regarding hppa, some kind soul pushed the "retry" button, which made the package to be tried in another hppa machine and this time it worked: https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=m4&arch=hppa&ver=1.4.20-1&stamp=1756769519&raw=0 So I'm not going to worry too much about hppa for now. btw: I'm curious about the "two patches + one more to fix the first two". It is not the usual thing to squash patches before distributing them, particularly when one of them fixes things in the others? Thanks.
