I think it would be helpful if you'd create a patch against the patched
source...  It would be a bit difficult to undo a previous bad patch
(i.e., create a reverse patch for a bad patch), especially if it came
from Juergen's earlier megapatch and not from me wrongly applying newer
patches.

In addition to your suggestions, what about making this turn-off-able from
mint.cnf?
