Some of them are pedantic nonsense (eg removing #!/usr/bin/ruby's ),
but like that crash fix for last.fm is interesting and it is amazingly
irresponsible of Debian not to push such things to us.

Patch 15 makes sense, I guess we would be looking up artist and such
in the temp table to find if the artist exists yet or not.
