I am still bewildered. The patch just removes the suggestion of 
ce_flexform in ext_emconf.php. But ext_tables.sql of dam will create the 
field and the appropriate $TCA configuration can be found in can be 
found in ext_tables.php and then there is some stuff in tca_media_field.php:

function 
txdam_addCTypeFlexFormValue($piKeyToMatch,$value,$field='ce_flexform').

Perhaps that is all nonsense? In my installation the following query 
does not find any matching rows:

SELECT uid,ce_flexform FROM tt_content WHERE ce_flexform != ''

If this is the right query (I am not what you would call a sql heroine), 
should not we get rid of the stuff in ext_tables.php and 
tca_media_field.php as well?

Is there any chance that someone coming from an older DAM installation 
has some data in that field that need to be moved to somewhere else???
If this is not the case people then could simply remove EXT ce_flexform 
completely from there installations, just for clarity's sake
