You are thinking of make-kpkg's "--added-patches" option, which does not
work - neither for Xen nor, for example, the vserver patches. Using this
option results in a "Could not find patch for xen" error. Though I do
think that manually patching the kernel with Debian's Xen patches and
then running make-kpkg did work some time ago.

You are, but it doesn't work :)
