I figured out why the debdiff appeared to be reversed, although it wasn't. The Debian maintainer switched from no patch system to dpatch. When you do a debdiff of such a change, the changes that existed in .diff.gz outside of debian/ appear as "Reverted" in the debdiff since we are "reverting" the changes outside of debian/ back to be what it is in .orig.tar.gz. This will make the patch appear reversed for part of it (it is removing the Debian maintainer changes that are now being applied with dpatch), and the debdiff will not be able to be applied to the source directory. To apply the patch, we would need to remove at "Reverted" stanzas and files from the debdiff. However, that is not necessary since the diff I have above (ubuntu_merge_atlas.diff) has already done that. Just applying the .diff will work (see the merge and ppa above).
