I do not consider that reasonable, no.
I would much rather prefer Ubuntu does to their upstream what
I do with mine: I send distinct patch series, rebased to their current
version, in their preferred forum: either thier BTS, or their mailing
list.
*That* is reasonable. I don't have time to go trawling through
whatever location the 162 Debian derivatives have set up with their
patches; and I do not want a monolithic patch, with the derivative
branding mixed in with changes I have made that they cherry picked on
top of an ancient version of mine, all munged together.
If you think that is reasonable, perhaps you should not be
designing a patch management system?
