Actually, it'll be your own Hardy mirror, from which you will derive a 
deltah repo with Builder.

If you're short on bandwith I could see about copying my own local repo 
to DVDs and sending them to you. I believe there's a tool that makes 
that somewhat easy, but I've never used it.

Or put the patch in bzr branch I can merge.

The deltah-backports component is provided but not supported by us. 
Everything in Builder is supported, so I suggest you put it in the main 
deltah component.
