I think you're minsunderstanding me (or I you, or my english is total
crap).
The idea is have to have a debian/patches/ dir that contains all
patches, similar to how many of the lots of little patches systems
work these days (CDBS? or the .dpatch stuff in the glibc packaging),
and the .diff.gz doesn't touch anything outside debian/. Build
preparation applies these patches, as many as possible for all
architectures, and if needed conditionally.
