It seems the package is using dpatch. If so, do the following:
- get the source
- copy it (pkg-vers and pkg-vers.orig)
- cd into pkg-vers
- dpatch-edit-patch <patchname>
- do your thing
- exit dpatch
- cd .. ; diff -u pkg-vers{.orig,}/debian/patches/<patchname>.dpatch
Another option is to apply the patch in both directories, do your change in
one of them, and then diff.
