I have not cherry-picked any patches into the Debian kernel yet. Adding custom patches to the Debian kernel is tedious and takes some time until they get accepted which is why I prefer getting those patches upstreamed as quickly as possible. For testing, I am just building test kernels for anyone to play with. > Also, from my understanding, not all of the UEK patches are added to the > Debian kernel > yet. Is that correct?

That happens through salsa: https://salsa.debian.org/kernel-team/linux Once a patch has landed there, a new kernel package has to be released and once that has been built and published into the repositories, I have to rebuilt the debian-installer package and then use that to build a new Debian installation ISO.
