Some options I can think of:
Beg upstream to be reasonable and push their patches upstream.
Add the supertuxkart patches to the Debian version of irrlicht,
building two sets of packages from one source package, one with the
patches, one without.
Patch supertuxkart to work with the upstream version of irrlicht.
Remove supertuxkart from Debian if upstream refuses and the above
patching gets to be too much effort.
