Comment 21 for bug 1860456

@mapreri I moved @cjwatson's patch, along with the simpler patches for bug 1862286, bug 1862372, and bug 1863119, to the bottom of my patch queue, and included them all in this mr:
https://code.launchpad.net/~ddstreet/ubuntu-dev-tools/+git/ubuntu-dev-tools/+merge/378722

My work queue still has quite a few more patches on those, but there's no urgency to the rest of my patches.
