Generally the package build process would do the patching, and the
failure would stop the build.

I'd recommend creating a patches directory inside the debian one,
dropping that patch in (with a .patch extension),

Cut everything in the patch below and including this line
	diff -ruN at-3.1.8/debian/changelog at-3.1.8.hs/debian/changelog

execute dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot

Note that this doesn't work for me but I think that is for a different
reason (some kind of environment problem that also stops me building
apache)
