It's great that fixes for IrMC are in upstream. I'm sorry I don't want to use patch for recognizing correct phone books. As you can see I'm using completely different way in obexd for maemo N900 (I added also call history)...
... BTW it seems to me that it's some kind of cleanup of code instead of fixing some issues (or am I wrong?),..
...I also want to use only packages from debian testing as it's tested.
