Adding 'linux' to _PATCH_DEPENDENCIES will not be enough, because all
_PATCH_DEPENDENCIES guarantees is that such dependencies are extracted
and patched, not that they are configured/built or whatever.
So, the only option left would be to treat them as a linux extension,
and drop the build+install commands from linux-backports, and use the
integration strategy (instead of the packaging strategy), see:
https://backports.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Documentation/integration
However, it seems to be quite involved...
