There are no Debian-specific patches applied to the primus packages in Debian. AFAIU, upstream is referring to a patch or some other issue in mesa, so it's out of my control anyways. Just to quote upstream (#bumblebee-dev on freenode): <amonakov> I'd rather prefer if people using Nouveau learned DRI_PRIME and xrandr offload (less overhead!) I would also recommend using DRI_PRIME [1] if you prefer using nouveau, and take advantage of support directly in the kernel rather than relying on bumblebee. The required userspace components, including an up-to-date X server, have just recently made it into testing/unstable, and there have been reports of other Debian users getting it to work successfully [2].
