Because then the biggest risk is that a patch doesn't apply anymore but one would notice that due to FTBFS. > I can do this if there is consensus that we want this.

But, if it is the best we have, I rather have that then a delta with Ubuntu that is only this small. So I agree as well. Maybe we can do something smart in the clean target and fail if e.g. the Debian patches aren't all in the ubuntu.series and/or test that the full series can be applied (yes ugly, but proving we aren't neglecting it).
