The patch and testing are appreciated.  Please NMU with my thanks.
Otherwise, I'll test, build and upload as soon as I can, though this
may not be soon enough.

If you can read the book and your PDF reader can display its table of
contents in a sidebar, then your patch is very likely good.  If you
can read the book but your PDF reader cannot display the table of
contents in a sidebar, the sidebar is not crucial and you should still
upload.  (After all, the book still has a fine table of contents for
the human reader to read and use.  If the PDF reader cannot parse the
table, too, this is no disaster.)

The book purposely has no PDF hyperlinks in it.  In other words, it
doesn't have those blue page numbers you can click to go straight to
the referenced page.  Thus, if you do not see blue page numbers, this
does not mean that you have done something wrong.

[Recent package transitions unfortunately have made awkward what used
to be a rather elegant build.  At the root of the trouble is the need
(a) to create a PDF from LaTeX, (b) to give the PDF a proper PDF table
of contents without using PDFLaTeX, (c) to include LaTeX-nonstandard
PostScript in the PDF, and (d) to do all this using special build
tools, compiled from source as part of the Derivations package's build
procedure.  All this used to work rather nicely, and recently I have
accepted well-appreciated patches to kludge the build procedure to get
it through the upcoming stable release.  Hopefully, this will be the
last adjustment to the kludge.  After the stable release, when time
permits, I'll probably reform the entire build procedure, but for now
the patches, and NMU if appropriate, are welcomed with thanks.]
