Got a look at the kernel-patch-pc9800 source. You didn't include the
dh_installkernelpatch script, and there is no build-depends for a package
that would contain it - that would warrant a "cannot build from source"
bug report, severyti "important" :(
A quick glance at your template files shows your approach has been very
similar to mine. However, my scripts do add a couple of things, like the
"don't break the source" behaviour I described - only in "apply" for now,
though - and support for patches agausnt multiple versions of a kernel (as
demonstrated by kernel-patches-kdb.
I'd be glad to take a look at its source. If it has any functionality mine
doesn't, I'll promptly port it :)
Best Regards,
