I agree. Maybe there's some hidden reason, like the reason we can't create
subdirectories in packages. Maybe some other version of patch can't handle
the "\ No newline at end of file" construct.
But as things stand now, it's impossible to build some packages with
because of this problem. I'm filing a bug report.
