Description:
Upstream say "recomended" but inspecting the patches are just bug fixes

The first is just documentation but the others couls lead in inacurate info in some cases I think, and with the slow releases fot this program thatcouls take 2 years or more to a new versio with those, I think is good add these patches

You always can wait but that could take years as I say.

Additional info:
* dmidecode 3.0

Steps to reproduce:
Be an unfortunate guy that get an error related to those bug fixes.

If you need more info just ask here
This task depends upon
