OK, I'm finishing merging this in.  

I don't understand what you're doing with G-02-LinkScriptCleanup.patch.  The
stuff you're adding to vmlinux.lds.S is only needed for the final binary, 
which isn't built by this script.  The next three hunks are also somewhat 
obscure.  The final one is merged.

I don't like H-01-Pcap_link_fix.patch.  As much as that fixes pcap, we really
need to find a fix that's local to arch/um/drivers.  I'll merge this only
as a last-ditch thing if it becomes clear that there is no other way.

H-02-Fixdep-improve.patch is similar, except it's not clear to me what
you're fixing.  Here also, I don't want to munge the global kbuild with
UML special cases.

In H-04-Kbuild_cleanup.patch, the skas/Makefile patch isn't obviously an
improvement over what's already there.  In arch/um/Makefile, what's that @:
doing?  A quiet true?  I left out the commented stuff.  Send it back in when
you're sure what you want there.

As for I-01-Debian_workaround.patch, I had the impression that this was
caused by a Debian bug.  If so, they should fix it, and I shouldn't have
to put workarounds in UML for it.
