   • Don't force -fPIE: distributions and libtool know better than we do whether
     it's desirable (fd.o #16621, fd.o #27215; Simon McVittie)
+  • Allow --disable-gc-sections, in case your toolchain offers the
+    -ffunction-sections, -fdata-sections and -Wl,--gc-sections options
+    but they're broken, as seen on Solaris (fd.o #33466, Simon McVittie)
+  • Install dbus-daemon and dbus-daemon-launch-helper in a more normal way
+    (fd.o #14512; Simon McVittie, loosely based on a patch from Luca Barbato)
+  • Ensure that maintainers upload documentation with the right permissions
