I notice that in the GIT TDE packaging repo for sip4-tqt there are two patches (siputils_debian_changes.diff
and siputils_objdir_module_fix.diff) that are not used during the building process.
I wonder if this is intentional or if they are just old patches not needed or what (since I am new here I don't
much of the TDE history).

I would like to either merge them or remove them before applying the patch for the FTBFS, so to clear up
the tree a little. Does anybody remember anything about these two patches?

If there are no objections or no specific instructions before sunday night, on monday morning I
will proceed to remove the two patches from the packaging repo for debian and ubuntu since they
are not currently used, apply the fix for today's FTBFS and finally update the GIT repos.
