Then use -5. The only reject is in README.Debian - something we can
cope with :)

As far as I know i386 has to update it's kernel images due to the
tf,nt security problem.

That's exactly the reason why our kernel-patch packages don't depend on
but merely recommend the kernel-source-package. Given the size of the
mips diff, we can't expect it to apply against random
kernel-source-packages - something which is very unlikely to change in
the future. Another possibility would be to diff against the vanilla
source from kernel.org - something I actually don't like to do since we
then depend on sources from outside the distribution.
