Cunningly! I'm surprised by your words why would I cunningly do this
please consider using appropriate word when reporting bugs. Now coming
to the part it indeed missed my eyes but patch still works. did you
try applying it using quilt push -a? If not check below output

[vasudev@rudra: ~/Documents/Debian/collab-maint/dwm/ ]% quilt push -a
Applying patch 03-transparent-makefile.patch
patching file Makefile

Applying patch 01-term-cmd-replace.patch
patching file config.def.h
Hunk #1 succeeded at 47 (offset 1 line).

Applying patch 02-dpkg-buildflags.patch

I will fix this in my next upload also I don't see any reson for bug
to be marked as important [1] so I've downgraded it to normal.
