Can you give an example?  I would think that the second
dpkg-buildpackage would apply patches again, so in principle I don't
see how this would break.

I could easily have missed a problem, though, since I usually work
with source that has been patched already (since that is what I store
in the VCS and that is what "dpkg-source -x" produces), and in that
case dpkg-buildpackage does not unapply patches.

Curious,
Jonathan
