This affects RX, so potentially affects pretty much anything in OpenAFS.
The parts involved with 'vos dump' are the 'volserver' and 'vos'
binaries, so you'd want to replace at least those. (If I recall
correctly, 'vos' may be the only thing you need to change, but I'm not
100% sure about that.)

Since you're using debian packages, I'd just add the new patches, and
build and install new .debs; you don't need to mess with the individual
binaries.
