17:58 <@ago> blueness: could I remove <1.20.1 as requested in bug 426504 ?
17:59 <@blueness> ago, i would say yes, but busybox is very much vapier's thing.  ping him a few times and if you get no answer, ping me again and i'll look into this more carefully

@Mike, what's your mind?

you need to look at unused files in $FILESDIR too.  there's a number of patches left behind that are dead now.
