I think the best solution would be to ask Russell to put all the dependencies
into a non-rebasing branch and publish that, or to alternatively merge your
patches through his tree instead, with my Ack.

Both of these will also have to wait for a few more days until Russell
is back online.

Can you check if the devel-stable branch in his tree already contains the
dependencies?
