My kernel-patch packages were all built against the source tree from
ftp.kernel.org. All except two of them came from the upstream that way.
If someone reports a bug against these packages about problems applying to
the Debian kernel-source package then I'll look into it and try and make a
patch that applies to both.
So far no-one has filed a bug report so presumably my patches all apply to
the kernel-source packages (or the people who use the kernel-source packages
don't use the patches I manage).
So I say - don't worry about it unless/until you get bug reports.
