Quick update here: * The findutils patch is already upstream and in the latest *development* release (4.5.10). No ETA for the stable release.

Is there a reason pam_unix2 is still in the repository? So the only patch not already upstream is the one with a dead upstream. Now let's go back to work on the policy...
