That's fairly trivial to solve though; just do a cleanroom tree that
contains the original, as-released, unmodified source. Then you can diff
the cleanroom and source trees to get a diff for the entire tree if
necessary.
May be a bit of extra work, but I think it would be nice to be able to
cvsup the source tree and not have to worry about whether there's a glitch
in the individual package's lrp/Makefile configuration for applying the
patches.

Agreed. Go take a stroll through the packages directory for Oxygen and be
a bit surprised, then realize that there's tons of others out there
floating around. Not to mention variations on packages, etc.
