With dpatch maintainer hat on,
dpatch-convert-diffgz should work for most problems,
although it does have a few bugs.
If you can work with filterdiff et al directly, that's fine.
erlang leaving things around might be a problem.
Most C/C++ codes using autoconf/automake have checks against them.
More of an operational point of view,
it's difficult to look at source code.
Bug #250202 is the one to look at; which seems to have a solution.
I stumbled upon this when I tried to write a hook to import Debian
sources to gonzui (source-code browser).
