Having patches that are not upstream is a hassle in general. But since those packages are basically unmaintained upstream as far as I remember, it means upstream won't do any new release, and therefore we won't have to update/change the patches. Having patches is really a big annoyance when the upstream project is still active and makes releases, since we have to update our patches whenever we bump the package.
