If you want to start on this one to help you a bit more for complex merges I'd highly recommend (in fact I use it even for trivial ones) to follow https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/Merging/GitWorkflow
Seems somewhat doable: git diff old/debian | diffstat changelog | 58 ++++++++ control | 4 iproute2.install | 1 patches/1000-ubuntu-poc-fan-driver.patch | 65 +++++++++ patches/1001-ubuntu-poc-fan-driver-v3.patch | 133 ++++++++++++++++++ patches/1002-ubuntu-poc-fan-driver-vxlan.patch | 177 +++++++++++++++++++++++++ patches/1003-fix-variable-in-libnetlink.patch | 53 +++++++ patches/series | 4 8 files changed, 494 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) That helps you doing the merge as well as the reviewer of your work.
