A patch system can be very convenient for the people who are not the maintainer of the package - if you fetch the source package from the archive you get all packages neatly separated and mostly with a description. It's then easy to extract a patch, disable a patch or add a new one, for example when NMU'ing. If I'm correct the source package won't display the changesets from your VC. Thijs
