I am willing to do this, and I know how to use 'git bisect'. But given
all the patches in the Debian package, I don't know how to put that in
a consistent workflow that ensures a NetworkManager properly
integrated into Debian. Either the dpkg-buildpackage fails, apparently
because of missing patches, or I am struggling with applying the
patches on other upstream sources than the 0.9.10.0 one. Any suggestions?

Or, what pitfalls should I be aware of when building and testing
upstream's source code on Debian Jessie?

Best regards,
Micha
