"It never rains but pours", wasn't it what they said? :-) I think the
problem is that most people is using bash as /bin/sh, so they never realized
about the problem.

Patches fine, but then ...
/usr/src/kernel-patches/all/2.6.9/apply/debian: 160: Syntax error: word unexpected (expecting "do")
It just lacks a ";" in that line, after the last backquote:
for base in `(cd $home/series/ && ls -d *) | sort -rnt- -k 2` do
I'd attach a patch, but it seemed a bit silly for such a little fix :-)
