Created attachment 4052
  --> https://bugs.busybox.net/attachment.cgi?id=4052
prevents reordering patches

When support/scripts/apply-patches.sh is given an explicit list of patches
instead of a template, they are sorted by name before being applied. This is
bad as sometimes the order of patches is important, e.g. if one patch depends
on another one. This happens e.g. when applying Debian patches whose order is
explicitly described in the file debian/patches/series.

The culprit is a "ls -d" which has to be changed to "ls -dU" in order to
prevent sorting to take place. I have attached a corresponding patch.
