To properly fix the problem at hand, dvipdfmx should probably have a
directory where it reads all configuration sequentially from.

The Debian maintainer of dvipdfmx decided to patch dvipdfmx to support
it. See Bug#271468.

Looking at your diff.gz[1], it looks to me you just packaged the new
upstream version without any consideration for backwards compatibility
or Debian integration. That kind of worries me.

Note that files in debian/patch seems to be unused.
