I use the following, slightly different, rule:
0xxx: Grabbed from upstream development.
1xxx: Possibly relevant for upstream adoption.
2xxx: Only relevant for official Debian release.
With that logic, there's a greater chance that when low-ordered patches
are later dropped due to being includd upstream, the later patches might
not need unfuzzing.
