Looks like the package is using dpkg-source v3, which applies the
patches when you do dpkg-source -x foo...dsc

Usually one does svn-buildpackage, the upstream tarball is unpacked,
the patches applied and a source package built from the result before
dpkg-buildpackage/pdebuild is run.

Please let upstream know about those if they are not actually a bug in
one of the library deps like GTK+ or similar.

Presumably you mean the comments Nicolas Alvarez and myself posted in
this thread?

If so, awesome! I'll try to take a look next weekend, though a
reminder RFS here or on -mentors would be helpful.
