Oh dear, that's confusing. I don't understand why "apt-get source" did'nt give 
me the source code of the binary package ? It gave a diff file, and pretended 
it was applied, and now you are saying that there yet OTHER patches/changes 
that have not been applied ?
How do I patch (again) the source with these debian changes ? When that is 
done, will it *at last* give me the source code that *really* corresponds to 
the the binary package ??
Until I have the proper source code, how am I supposed to make a patch ? By 
patching the debian patch ?! I thought patches applied to the source code, not 
to other patches...
This all sounds very confusing and complicated to me :-(
Maybe I should fle a bug report against apt-get or Ubuntu : "Apt-get source 
does NOT give you the actual source code of the corresonping binary package !" 
:o(((((((
Looks like I will have to give up making this (any) patch, it's really so 
confusing so far :o(
