Debian src-packages are different to rpm src-packages (srpm). srpm often includes
many little patches in _one_ file (orig src + patches). This has maybe some 
advantages but also one big dis-advantage: you must download also the big original
source archive. 

For debian we have the upstream source (xfree_<version>.orig.tar.gz) and one
patch file (xfree_<version>-<debian-version>.diff.gz). 

Have a look at:  

   ftp.debian.org/pub/debian/dists/unstable/main/source/x11/xfree86-1_3.3.3.5-2.diff.gz
