package: patch
version: 2.5.4-6
_Please_ add an interactive mode switch for patch as such:
"Would you like to patch this file (yes/no)?
It would save me (and probably many others) a lot of time upgrading versions
for my debian packages.

Hi Jonathan,
getting back on this bug report from old times - nowadays there are
lots of scripts and tools to handle patches in Debian packages that
are more suited than manual patching.
About the more general question, have a look at the patchutils package
that contains various tools for dealing with patches. For a complete
solution, use a version control system with cherry-picking support.
Christoph
