I don't know why Andrew's patch didn't apply. Were you using
the official 2.4.19 patch which is on his website? I just got the most
recent one on Saturday.
As for the apply script, it knows how to do nifty stuff with
dh_installkpatches in order to apply to a kernel tree. You can read the
manpage to figure out how it works.
