Yeah, that's unnecessary.
The program is ported now. What do you wnat? The patch or the package?
Did you patch some existing packaging to produce this? In that case a
debdiff may be ideal.

Hi, I have patched the mintUpdate.py from the mintupdate package.
I renamed the original deb package to mintupdate-mint* and extract it.
About the control file I don't know if it's necessary patch it, because
the only difference between them it's necessary remove mint-mirrors
package from de deps and add gksu or kdesudo.
The mint-common package is necessary, but it doesn't need to be ported.
This new mintupdate package can works on *all*, probably on hurd too.
Here is the link to download the package:
http://packages.linuxmint.com/pool/main/m/mintupdate/ (I believe this
patch works on the latest packages).
Here is the patch:

Considering the mint programs are traditional programs, I hope the
maintainers from traditional DE like MATE and XFCE use it as replace of
gnome-packagekit, this is my intention. :D
What's the next step?
Please, try it by yourselves and look for errors.
Thanks
