The difference is that the Debian diff with quilt format is no longer
distributed as a (compressed) diff, but a tarball extra files, so the
current <pkg>_PATCH handling doesn't really work for that.

But like I mentioned earlier, I don't have a problem with us dropping
support for this special case as long as we find a solution for packages
like liblockfile.

For now I applied the patch so liblockfile builds again.
