The sbuild series has not been merged yet. We are thinking how to handle this
and will continue the discussion.

In short, "all pending patches" is quite a moving target, there will always be
patches that are important. That said, many of the recently requested ones have
been merged. Maintaining a stable version for some time is not an easy decision
due to the effort and has to be carefully considered.
