I think you're not understanding each other.
Unless the "feature" is complex enough to require multiple commits, Brian
is saying that evolving the feature is done by amending the commit that
is in the feature branch instead of adding supplementary commits in the
feature branch.
debian/patches should be seen as stacked/linearized series of features
branches.
