I remember somebody said somewhere that one should always use
dpkg-source -x, not tar + patch. However, I doubt that this explains the
failure. I rather think the reason for the advice is that an
orig.tar.gz need not unpack into a subdirectory (tetex-bin-...), but
could as well just unpack its contents into the current
directory. dpkg-source has no problems with this, but tar+patch has, of
course.

I'm kind of puzzled, because I think I have tested it. But perhaps I
used an existing directory and just copied the
debian/new-manpages/texmf.d subdirs?
You can play with the patches using
fakeroot debian/rules edit-patch-deb #or any patch
It will (try to) apply the patch, you can fix the resulting files, and
create an updated patch with
fakeroot debian/rules patch-deb #or any patch

Yes, that would be much better, thanks.
