Could you link to the upstream patches or give their sha1's. Is there a discussion somewhere where it is explained why this is needed and why it is ok to backport?

Thanks. I'll still need the original reference (to the Bluez repo), but if you don't know I'll try to find it myself at some point.

As there was a new revision of the Arch package I tried to use that again. But it looks like the patches are not yet included. Any idea when we can rely on the Arch package again? Thank you!
