I think update-dvipdfmx can do that.

I checked the patchs before NMU the package. But the patch was only for
Japanese-TeX related package. If the patch make dvipdfmx read all
configuration files from some directory, we can apply the patch because it
can be used globally. But L10N patchs must not be applied to debian main
package. Remember debian is not a project only for Japanese.

Although the maintainer of dvipdfmx decided to apply L10N patch, I thought
that's wrong. That's why I didn't apply the patch.
