patch-modifying-debian-files
A patch stored in debian/patches/ modifies or creates files
in the debian folder, but that folder is already under the
maintainer's exclusive control.
It may be more appropriate to patch or create files in the upstream
directory hierarchy, but often it is easier to place a copy in the
debian folder.
