For me:
$ dpkg-source -x patch_2.5-2.dsc
dpkg-source: extracting patch in patch-2.5
And everything seems to be fine, eg. the package builds cleanly
with
$ cd patch-2.5
$ dpkg-buildpackag -b -us -uc -rsudo

I have the same versions. There must be something else...
Perhaps you can give some more info?

Philipp
