Ideally, I'd like my tool du jour for managing debian/patches not to shine through to the source package. So I'd prefer full control. This would make it possible to preserve the file names when importing existing source packages or initializing from a repository with debian/patches inside. While this is mostly about aesthetics, it would also help verifying that nothing got lost when I switch the tool (as a debdiff of the old and the new packages isn't cluttered by the patch renames.)
