We don't want system specific patches. That's the way that lies madness.
We want the upstream author care about compatibility, and help her where

Obviously, we don't reach this worthy goal completely. The Debian diff.gz is
our "system" specific patch :) But we still try to make it neat and clean if
necessary.
