I have been thinking further on this, I think a fairly common situation
was for the autobuilder patches to be out of date with the current
downloaded source, things having moved on in the debian world.

To allow for you to edit the file (that didn't patch properly, or in this
recent case, has been previously patched) perhaps you could have a build
option -nopatch.
