However, to the degree that the Ubuntu patches have these sorts of
gratuitous changes that shouldn't be merged with Debian, the patch
database quickly becomes useless. The current patch system is only useful
if a maintainer can easily review it for changes that should be
incorporated in Debian, and nothing makes that impossible faster than
changes like autotools modifications.
