First, thanks for your efforts so far. It does make me think you are probably right, that we can (try to) drop the corresponding patches. I do have one question (which might be annoying to answer): do the resulting elpa-* packages install with your patched emacs? I vaguely remember some issues with post install byte-compilation.
