Sorry for the noise, I should have waited a little longer before asking

I got confused about those patches, sorry. There is no patch for the
merge_config.sh whatsoever.

Since there is no patch for the merge-script, and the other ones are
already applied, this question solves itself.

I obviously would break the 'pkg-kconfig' package, which uses this
script for other packages. I also imagine kernel builds using fragments
would suffer from this.
