   "debian/" directory scope.  A patch is created for each modified  file.
   Each  patch  is  named according to the path of the modified file, with
   "/" replaced by "___", and an extension of ".patch".

FILES

   debian/control
          Existence of this file is tested before any patch is extracted.

   debian/
   debian/patches/
          Patches   are   extracted   to   one   of   these   directories.
          "debian/patches/" is preferred, if it exists.  If DEB_PATCHES is
          present  in the environment, it will override this behavior (see

          extracted   in  that  directory  and  not  under  "debian/"  nor
          "debian/patches/".
