Hi Liliana, Thanks for your suggestions!

The second technique (parameterizing) is what Nicolas proposed as well. It's fine for a small number of packages requiring patches (my case so far), but a bit verbose if used frequently. Writing my own search-patch has the advantage of being done once for the whole channel. Maybe I'll end up doing that. Cheers, Konrad.
