The infamous 133-arch.diff is in both sid and trunk, maybe they should not
be in there at all? Somebody might add it to the series by mistake.
Sometimes the other kernel maintainers want to help by copying over the
patches from an older version, which then do not apply anymore to a new
version. It is difficult to get rid of them then, but I see you still use
a subdirectory for every kernel version. Many patches will be duplicates,
but sometimes there are subtle changes, preventing patches from being
applied in a new version. Using subdirectories should fix this, if you have
a lot of time, you could check the patches for differences before commiting
them to a new subdirectory. I usually committed them for every version and
it worked very well for me. So everything is in good shape, you don't need
my help (its a lot of patches, though...).
