Either a git bundle or quilt patch series is fine.

We definitely can't add a Provides on "real" kernel packages, because
this breaks auto-removal of old packages.  We could possibly add it to
the meta-packages, but there would have to be a plan for how we can
drop it later (and have the Wireguard user-space just assume the kernel
supports it).  We definitely shouldn't accumulate Provides for every
component that was previously packaged out-of-tree.
