I don't think this buys us anything over building from the kernel tree
(i.e. the linux source package), but will wait to see what Arnaldo
says.

linux-base is maintained by the kernel team on salsa.debian.org, where
you can send merge requests.  If linux-perf is to be a separate source
package, I think it should be maintained in the same way.
