Are you referring to a potential 3.5.13.1 source tarball release? If so, yes, it might be a good idea to release such a point update soon.
It would make everything easier for me to do that if a full patch file could be provided that would apply cleanly to the extracted TDE sources from the complete 3.5.13 tarball--this would avoid having to republish the 3.5.13 tarballs, which would add several gigabytes of files to the already strained mirror system.

Yes, I mean what we refer to 3.5.13.1.
My goal was to prepare an update so that it could replace existing packages from 3.5.13 (not to occupy more space). So that users who install the Trinity according to the instructions given update automatically. I assumed then you can simply move the packages from my PPA to the official.
Yes, this is correct. I am waiting to do so until I get an official sign-off that the new packages work better than the old ones (i.e. users are reporting that the new packages do not crash, etc.).
In the source packages, patches have kept separately from the original sources (in debian/patches/bp*.diff). I was hoping they might be incorporated into Git branch for 3.5.13. I understand that you wanted a big diff instead of the set of patches?
Honestly I'm not sure how to do this in anything resembling a sane manner in GIT. I was considering distribution of the large patch file as an update to the existing 3.5.13 sources, but comments and discussion are definitely welcome on this subject!
