Looks like you want all that are not commented or PRIVATE in the series file.
But as Geert mentioned, there may be more in git.

You go ahead :-) Last time I tried, I could not even build a kernel image from
the Debian release source kit.
It may be worth tracking Geert's git tree and work from that one. Geert's tree
should allow you to check out Linus' release 2.6.28 as a branch, and import all
of Debians patches into that branch one by one, committing as you go. A diff
between that branch and Geert's HEAD should show all changes that are still
missing. How to generate one diff for each commit into Geerts tree? git-cherry
might help there if the Debian patches match existing commits, I haven't
actually tried that. I'll see if I can make that work...
