Simplest overall for OpenBSD and other OS packagers would be if upstream
would make a new release, then we can all just update to that.

Otherwise, it Looks like they're fairly simple fixes? (At least the
ngettext patch that Debian are using just adds [ ] in one line).
In which case it's probably best to just backport the particular fixes.
Here's roughly what you need to do:

- Checkout the ports tree if you haven't already

cd /usr/ports/net/deluge:
make patch
cd `make show=WRKSRC`
cp $file $file.orig (etc; i.e. backup all edited files)
vi deluge/i18n/util.py (etc; edit files as needed)
cd -
make update-patches
cvs add patches/patch-deluge_i18n_util_py (etc)
vi Makefile (increment REVISION; if you do this for another
port and there is no existing REVISION then add one, starting at 0)
cvs diff -uNp | tee /tmp/deluge.diff

Then mail that diff
