Our development model for dapper/2.6.15 changed quite a bit. All of our
development is done in git on a direct clone of the 2.6.15 kernel. If
you want to see all the changes related to the kernel in minute detail,
I suggest cloning our git repo[1]. If you want just a nice rundown, you
can look at debian/README.Ubuntu-External-Drivers. That covers all the
external drivers that are included in our kernel. There are other
patches, but mostly related to upstream updates to certain subsystems
(bluetooth for example) and some technical changes (SMP-alternatives for
example).

In git, you can look at git-log, and grep for the changes that start
with [UBUNTU:*] (ignore the [UBUNTU:debian] changes, since they don't
touch the kernel code). Also look for "EXTERNAL DRIVER".

There's no way to have a "patches" package.
