My question is if the official support by the FreeBSD security team is over, who will provide security patches for the 8.1 kernel which was included in Debian Stable?

That's a question for Debian as kFreeBSD is a Debian project. It's a not a partnership.
 
Whoever ported the Debian userland to the FreeBSD kernel will probably also need to do whatever is necessary to patch any major security flaws.
 
I think the corresponding Debian developers maybe don't have enough knowledge about the design and implementation of the FreeBSD kernel, even though they have already successfully ported it to the Debian userland.

I doubt they are capable to provide security updates for the ported FreeBSD kernel properly without the help of the FreeBSD security team.

It is important to point out clearly that I like Debian to prevent some misunderstanding.

In other words, I am not trying to start another fight between open source developers.

Who cares? That's not the problem of the FreeBSD devs.
