I didn't mean one specific license, but the requirement of DFSG:

   The license may restrict source-code from being distributed in
   modified form _only_ if the license allows the distribution of
   "patch files" with the source code for the purpose of modifying the
   program at build time.

So the license may require the distribution as original_source+patch_file.
