I don't know how to explain this clearly.

My point is, for some packages, BR does not provide the latest version,
but some fix may be available upstream, so they have been backported in BR
(e.g.: package/libglib2/libglib2-make-codegen-python2-python3-compliant.patch).

Any suggestion to explain this point in a better way is welcome.

Well, here I stick to the current apply-patches.sh implementation.
