they come with the debian tree. Xfree86 uses "Doogie's build system",
which basicaly means a pristine X is extracted into a temporary directory
and then patches from debian/patches are applied. see debian/README for
details.

note i'm working with Daniel Stone's unofficial Xfree86 4.3 packages:
http://penguinppc.org/~daniels/xfree86/
I'm adding a note to the README to clarify this.

xfree86_*.diff.gz does only contain the files in debian/ directory, the
patches against X are in debian/patches of the same dir.

they're against whatever Daniel put in the upstream/ dir, which is mostly
(but not exactly) "official" upstream source.
