Ok, yes, goo idea. I will do that for SUnit.

Question: did the other maintainers of in-image packages re-integrated
the m17n changes into the package? e.g SM has seen some small
changes in 3.8alpha... (it's nearly impossible to not touch the packages
when doing refactorings, as there is no way to tell what is a package 
and
what not).
