In the past we're tracking the upstream master branch and create new builds upon the lastest HEAD available at the moment. This, however, creates ambiguity for tracking backport-iwlwifi development & releases, because the upstream puts more emphasis on the coreNN releases instead of the development branch master when investigating support of new hardware models.

Currently backport-iwlwifi-dkms/noble, versioned 11510-0ubuntu1, is built from upstream revision 11520, which maps to upstream git commit 41e354fb5f32 that is a few commits behind the release/core84 HEAD commit 6d8764841123 (revision 11517). To migrate to release/core84 branches, it follows we will have to rebase our work to release/core84 HEAD and to fix debian version with an additional epoch. The proposed new version nubmer will be 84-0ubuntu1.
