Given the comprehensive test suite and upstream's track record of limiting
stable branches to bug fixes only, I have reviewed debian/* but not the
entire diff. Please go ahead with uploading it.

Actually it's really helpful to have the dropped patches listed, if
feasible. That allows a review to check that the intended patches, and only
those, have been dropped.

You can leave 3 in. I'm disappointed by your reluctance to even engage in
discussing the other two but also understand that bug has been the source
of some frustration for you.

The version is fine. It may or may not make it into 12.1 depending on build
times; we'll do our best.
