    Hi

    Please get a name, "whoami" is none. Please use your company or
    affiliation provided email address if you want to communicate for them.

    We believe this approach would benefit both our internal development

    if this is something Debian would consider.

    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.

    Thank you for your time and consideration. We greatly appreciate the
    work the Debian community does and would be happy to collaborate
    further to ensure smooth integration.

    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.
