I'm not sure why mirror is still doing this, given the correspondence
recorded in the mirror copyright file which says that patching in the
Debian *.diff.gz file is perfectly fine.

The license is not particularly well-written, but given the clarifying
correspondence, the intent appears to be to allow distributing of the
pristine source plus patch files.
