 First, because of a lack of time I haven't had much time to understand in
 detail what your needs are. So take my concerns as what they are: a gut
 feeling.

 I think we are about to overdo what a deployment mechanism (and XPatch) is
 about and can/should do for us. Whenver you extend the deployer keep in
 mind what Cocoon blocks at a sitemap level are about (polymorphism &
 inheritance) and that we can (and IMO should) backport the things that
 already work in the OSGi mode. Because of that I don't think it's a good
 idea to e.g. be able to patch any file at deployment time instead of only
 patching web.xml
What I really need to patch is web.xml and main sitemap.xmap (which is generated for block testing). Probably some entries in WEB-INF/cocoon/xconf are not configurable other way than patching.

I'm not sure what this xpatch stuff is all about (I thought we've been over it with patching in 2.2). But what about

   src/test/webapp/WEB-INF/web.xml
   src/test/webapp/sitemap.xmap

if you need special ones for testing your block (packaging=jar)?

For packaging=webapp you don't really need patching at all as you are in total control of it!

My -0.02 cents to user driven patching in Cocooon 2.2
