Idealy against the Debian kernel sources.

Nope. Patches against stock kernels are either completely compatible
with Xu's source or need very few modifications (just patch, fix
fuzzyness and diff-it again). If you are going to make patch packages
for -AC or other forked kernel developments, please DO NOT do this.
People that need them, can get them from the net.
