The reason not to do it is that it doesn't work. :-)
The patch is applied without evaluating any percent expansions, so all
of your %p will literally be "%p".
What you can do is put something like @FINKPREFIX@ instead of %p in your
.patch file, and then change that for %p in a PatchScript in the .info
file, where the percent expansions are evaluated. E.g.:
PatchScript: perl -pi -e 's|@FINKPREFIX@|%p|g' makefile.pl
