Unfortunately it is not that simple, xmds_defs.tex needs patching, otherwise
the build fails like in #560759

I added a quilt patch, does the source version have to be updated as well? I
am not yet familiar with the new source formats. Who wants to be an
uploader of this package? And how do I push the changes back to git?

I have attached my diff, the package is building fine, but there are a lot
of "Non-PDF special ignored!" messages, I do not remember if that is to be
expected.
