Right. AFAICS, lintian spews that warning because the header in that patch in
incomplete. It also needs a "From" and "Subject" (which can be same as commit
message) and something that's also specified in the dep3 protocol while
cherry-picking patch from upstream. https://dep-team.pages.debian.net/deps/dep3/

If you add the "From" and "Subject" field, this should work. If you can confirm
the same, we could close this bug.

Best,
Nilesh
