The Ubuntu delta contains two patches:

* d/p/private-priv.patch:
This patch was applied in Ubuntu to fix a FTBFS issue on nuxwdog. nuxwdog was a C++ project and would include the header file from libkeyutils-dev. Unfortunately, the header file contains variables named "private" - which is a keyword in C++ but not in C.
The last version of nuxwdog from the archive is in Bionic so I am tempted to drop this patch. The bug report on Debian was closed/not-fixed when nuxwdog was removed from the archive: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=923011
If we drop this, there is a chance, however, that other packages would FTBFS if they build-depends on libkeyutils-dev and use include the C header in C++ code. Here is the list of packages that build-depends on libkeyutils-dev:
  * bcachefs-tools
  * ceph
  * cifs-utils
  * ecryptfs-utils
  * gdm3
  * gssproxy
  * ima-evm-utils
  * kafs-client
  * krb5
  * kstart
  * ndctl
  * nfs-utils
  * python-keyutils
  * sssd
  * stress-ng
All these packages are in Debian unstable today and are not FTBFS, so I'd assume it's fine to drop the patch.

* d/p/apply-ttl-to-records.patch:
This patch was applied recently (from upstream) to fix #1962453. I think we need to keep this patch and I'm considering forwarding it to Debian.
