Similar patches were included in pdftex and and xetex (via the shared
code), as well as xdvipdfmx and dvips in the last 3 days or so in the
TeX Live repository.

There is no urgent need, though. If it is not in this release, I will
include the respective patches in the Debian builds, only.

Ok.

We (Hans and me) are still discussing about these patches, there are prons and cons;

luatex is different from pdftex & xetex and these are not patches on the TeX core.

Probably we will exchange some private emails on this just after 0.95.0, when we will return on the experimental branch.

As personal note, it's a pity that we will have luatex/Debian != luatex/TeXLive,

given that we try to be OS aware as much as possible.
