Like you said, I thought it was a better home, and it's not needed
here anymore. I could maybe move it to the repacking patch and make it
as a general "cleanup" patch, if you think that would be clearer.

I thought about removing it, but it would cause a bit of code churn.
That said, I could remove it in a new patch that I have as the last
one, and leave it to the maintainer to decide whether to take it.

You're right. At one previous iteration I did need it, which is why
it's here, but not anymore. Will remove it.

Because I wanted every patch to be self-standing, but no preference
really. I can change that to reduce code churn.
