patching an original tarball



Hello,

Upstream maintainer of nano has provided me with a patch that backports an
outstanding bug in the editor, meant to be applied for frozen. 
I have some doubts on how I should do this.
If I patch the affected .c directly, the sources will not be pristine
anymore, correct?
Should I do the patching before compilation, using debian/rules?
If so, any example of a correct way of doing so? (I imagine I should unpatch
when cleaning & so). Patching it directly is Bad?

Thanks, 

Jordi
