For Debian packages, either the patching is done automatically as part
of building the package (no special interface required) or the results
are already included in the source package and the patches provided for
reference but not applied at run time.
Debian encourages providing a patch target:
This target performs whatever additional actions are required to
make the source ready for editing (unpacking additional upstream
archives, applying patches, etc.). It is recommended to be
implemented for any package where dpkg-source -x does not result in
source ready for additional modification.
but it's not required.
