You don't need to move around those patches in the source package. You
just need to make sure those patches get copied by debian/rules (if
you're using debhelper, via a '<packages>.install' file) to a location
you want them to be installed on the user's system, probably
/usr/share/<package>/upgrade-sql/ (or something):
in package.install:
patches/patch1.sql /usr/share/<package>/upgrade-sql
Please read debhelper documentation for more information on how
debhelper makes a package.
