Public bug reported:
[Impact]
Currently for custom kernels, it's necessary to keep a separate
annotations file that often gets out of sync with the corresponding file
in debian.master/.
The "debian/scripts/config-check" script can be changed to allow
additional annotations files to act as overlays over the original
annotations file, allowing custom kernels to override the policies just
for the relevant configs.
The proposal is to add support for an include directive in the
annotations file so custom kernels can include the annotations file from
its base kernel and override policies on a config basis.
[Test Case]
A kernel build should complete successfully after the change.
[Regression Potential]
Low regression potential since that's a change on the build process that
doesn't affect the final kernel that is built.
