See here for explanations:

In either case, do not rely on Upstream-Status when deciding what to 
drop and what to keep. The only authority is actual code: if it already 
contains the patch (or, in rare cases, resolves the issue in a different 
way), you can drop it. Otherwise you most likely need to keep it, 
rebasing as needed.
