It's actually not required to have 'clean' do 'unpatch'. You can have
diff.gz contain the patched version, so that a simple 'dpkg-source -x'
will extract the fully patched version.
You just need to make sure you have unpatch/patch sequence somewhere
in your build (or configure) target, and make sure you use
dpatch-edit-patch or other tools when modifying source.
