There have been discussions in the past on the debian mailing lists about
whether it is a good idea for upstream sources to include the debian patch.
The gist of it that since debian builds packages based on a pristine source
tar ball and a patch, if the patch were upstream, would the patch have to
patch its own upstream version?
If however they were merely stored in contrib/distributions/patches or some
such and there was an understanding that that may not match what is
currently available from debian, then I see no problem.
