 If you use simple-patchsys, you can prepend before any "include" line:
  ifeq ($(DEB_HOST_ARCH),m68k)
  DEB_PATCHDIRS = debian/patches debian/patches/$(DEB_HOST_ARCH)
  endif
 to add debian/patches/m68k to the list of directories with patches to
 apply.

 Obviously, this can be adapted for many use cases, and different patch
 orders.
