With the new "3.0 (quilt)" archive format,
the handling of the patches is done by dpkg itself.

-This package uses quilt to manage all modifications to the upstream
-source.  Changes are stored in the source package as diffs in
-debian/patches and applied during the build.
-
-See /usr/share/doc/quilt/README.source for a detailed explanation.
-
 The upstream source tarball is repackaged to exclude binary files (DLL and
 JAR files that are not used in the course of pacakging/building for Debian).
 Please see the debian/repack.sh script for details.
