Let me clarify: patches are not automatically applied when mplayer is
built.
To be more precise: currently mplayer does not use quilt , or any other
patch-management tool. When you 'dpkg-source -x' mplayer, what
you get in mplayer-1.0~rc1 is what gets built : there is no command
in debian/rules that will alter the code.
But, in these 12 subrevisions, I have accumulated many patches, so I
decided that I will probably switch to using quilt - after etch is
released, since my ignorance of quilt may very well provoke build
problems.
As a preliminary step , I catalogized in debian/patches all
patches I worked on; but currently those are just there
for documentation purposes.
So you should ignore each and any file in debian/patches.
This is why I submitted to this list a interdiff where I deleted
all files from debian/patches .
