Awesome.
Some things which might or might not be worth discussing:
* Every patch should have a pseudo-header including the patch author
and a patch description, as well as, if applicable, debian bug,
upstream bug and upstream status (submitted, applied etc.).
* naming scheme for patches based on upstream/debian status; dpatch and
quilt can apply patches in arbitrary order so prefixing numbers is
not required anymore; however, having one of the prefixes local,
submitted and svn for Debian-specific changes, submitted patches and
upstream applied patches (as done e.g. by the glibc package) might be
desirable. If CDBS' simple-patchsys is used, a number can get
prefixed as well.
