Hey,

I've went through debian patches and I've applied most of them.
Here are the ones I've not applied with comments.

11replace_doc_paths.patch - seems debian specific

13split_info_files.patch - also debian specific?

26source_encoding.patch - cosmetic change for source code

45suppress_remap.patch - I've checked the logs and it seems like there
was already a revert of revert... are you sure it doesn't break
anything?

47screen-cc.patch - I will first check patches from Fedora, instead of
monolithic one ;)

48screen-ipv6.patch - it's a feature -> v5

49long-usernames.patch - already fixed

50increase-max-TERM-length.patch - already fixed

58-show-encoding-hardstatus.patch - feature -> v5

60-644788-screen-4.1.0-4.0.3-interoperability.patch - still not sure
about this one

80EXP_session_creation_time.patch - not applied -> v5
