Our normal policy is: patches needs to be in
- linus tree,
- linux-next, or
- similar.

We talked about this and came to the conclusion that we can not accept
especially larger in development patch sets for inclusion into the main
Debian kernel.  So no, we won't consider doing that.

What we might be able to do give you guidance how to build your own
kernels semi-automatically using the existing tooling the Debian kernel
provides.
