No plans to remove it from Debian of course. linux-ide@vger.kernel.org
is the list for IDE discussions there days. Given it's not purely an
IDE thing keeping linux-kernel on the thread sounds like a good idea.

I don't care at all how it's implemented in detail. I already mentioned
dpatch previous and cdbs and quilt. I want a way to get a kernel-source
package that uses split patches and otherwise is as little as possible
different from Herbert's packages. Who jumps in to help with the work
gets to choose the mechanism ;-)
