An inactive upstream is another problem. I would suggest joining or
taking over upstream. At least alioth and sf.net allow abandoned
project takeovers if the current maintainers are MIA, other sites
might too. Starting a fork is another option if their hosting site
doesn't allow that.

A patch adds another copy of the code, this time in
debian/patches/remove-foo.patch whereas you just add a line or two to
debian/rules.
