Understood, thanks, they're implicitely set.

Well, I've started to setup a git tree, but it's a bit hard to make the
kernel package git transition myself. I used the script from Ben

“arbitrary fixes” are picked up from mainline, which is why I remove
them from the patch since they're already backported into Debian.

I guess that can be cleaned-up.
