| The aumix package (2.7-19 and higher) handles this quite nicely.
| 
| It first put the patches in a make variable:
| 
|   PATCHES:=$(shell cd debian/diffs && ls *.patch)
|   REVPATCHES:=$(strip $(shell A=; for i in $(PATCHES); do A="$$i $$A"; done; \
|               echo $$A))
| 
| The REVPATCHES variable contains the patches in reverse sequence, which
| is used to unapply them.

[...]

And this works properly when some of the patches fail to apply?  And
you will have to run debclean before removing or changing a patch,
right?
