Failing to unpatch

[Nicolas Valcarcel]

I working (or trying to) on Bug #178046 [1] and i have some doubts. Talking on 
#ubuntu-motu they have make me notice that the possible cause of the error is 
that some of the files is changing on build time and i need to backup it, but 
the facts are:
  - That patch modifies 181 files
  - The patch has 1.9 Mb
  - The patch is 60154 lines long

That makes it a very hard work to find out what file is the problematic one, so 
i think the best to do here is to split the patch on smaller ones and then find 
which of them fails the thing is, can i split those files using filterdiff or i 
must use another dpatch method to do it the correct way. I have tried with 
filterdiff but something doesn't work fine but i don't know it was my error or 
it isn't the way to do it.

You can find which files/hunks fail by simply running dpatch 
deapply-all --verbose after the first build.
