Hi,

Thanks, Salvatore. I reached out on upstream's stable mailing list, and 
Greg KH replied that the patch doesn't apply cleanly and I can backport 
it and sent the patch. So I git-cloned the stable tree and checked out 
branch linux-4.19.y, but I'm unable to compile it (without making any 
changes).

I first tried the approach described in the Debian Kernel Handbook:
$ cp /boot/config-4.19.0-16-amd64 .config
$ scripts/config --disable MODULE_SIG
$ scripts/config --disable DEBUG_INFO
$ make oldconfig
$ make clean
$ make-deb-pkg
...
make[4]: *** No rule to make target 
'debian/certs/debian-uefi-certs.pem', needed by 
'certs/x509_certificate_list'.  Stop.

I then found the instructions for compiling the kernel from the Debian 
Handbook for Buster[1], but it stops before even compiling anything:

$ cp /boot/config-4.19.0-16-amd64 .config
$ make oldconfig
$ vim .config # add CONFIG_TRUSTED_KEYS=""
$ make clean
$ make-deb-pkg LOCALVERSION=-plaur KDEB_PKGVERSION=$(make kernelversion)-1
...
dpkg-source: info: use the '3.0 (quilt)' format to have separate and 
documented changes to upstream files, see dpkg-source(1)
dpkg-source: error: unrepresentable changes to source
dpkg-buildpackage: error: dpkg-source -i.git -b . subprocess returned 
exit status 1
make[1]: *** [scripts/package/Makefile:75: deb-pkg] Error 1
make: *** [Makefile:1390: deb-pkg] Error 2

What is the proper way to compile the upstream 4.19.y kernel, can 
anybody help?

Thanks,
Laurențiu
