Description-en: Debhelper script to help packaging kernel patches
The dh_installkpatches script produces the "apply" and "unpatch" scripts
that kernel-package uses to automatically handle kernel patches. It
provides a number of useful features like:
* does its best to never break your kernel source tree
* allows you to select any provided version of a patch
* handle patch inter-dependencies
.
Patches are described in a Debian-standard control-file-like format.
