Well, since I decided to rebase anyway, I marked the commit which had a
comment in it containing "cyd" as authored by Chong Yidong, and the
search_est commit as authored by you.

I've rebased onto the last commit in master which is reachable from the
'debian' branch.  I think this represents the 2.6.0 stable release.

After the initial rebase, I made some further touch ups (summary of
cross-branch changes are listed in the wiki page)

One thing that puzzled me a bit.  In scripts/recieve I had to add an
apparently missing assignment to let the tests pass; it seems strange
that that was missing before though.  How did it work up until now?
Wouldn't $dest always be in danger of not getting assigned?  Or is
X-Debbugs-Envelope-To guaranteed to be present (but perhaps the test env
fails to provide it)?

    ## Emacs BTS hack: use mail headers to reset $_.

    my $dest; ## <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< add " = $_" here.
    my @headerlines;
    while(<STDIN>) {
        push @headerlines, $_;
        if (m/X-Debbugs-Envelope-To:\s+(.+)/) {
            $dest = $1;
            last;
        }
        last if (m/^$/);
    }
    $_ = $dest;
