It indicates that a package contains software that does not work 100% the same as the pristine version does. The flag is not for "make compile" patches, but for contributed upstream patches not yet applied to upstream. Personally I see no real need for this, but it is a nice to have the locally applied things documented. Apart from that I would like to note that we already have source packages which can be activated at any time by calling NOSOURCEPACKAGE= gmake repackage or by changing the GAR default "NOSOURCEPACKAGE ?= 1". The source package will include the upstream sources and all patches.
