        it can't guaranty the atomicity for all distros. This patch is backported
        from upstream, as they decided to just remove the warn for it (LP: #610742)

      * New upstream release.
      * add block from kees to debian/rules to parallelize make
      * Removed patches which have been merged.
      * Removed the capslock patch because capslock isn't behaving
        right for me in 0.12.3 with the patch anyway, probably bc the
