+1 for the global thing. But an alias can do that for the initial unpacking of source packages. But if you are working with a VCS then I don't think this has anything to do with peoples preferences but with the workflow of the VCS. Wether sources are commited with patches applied or not. Having the patch behaviour differ from the workflow of the VCS is just trouble. And I hope all team-maintained packages do use some VCS.
