Each patch is named according to the path of the modified file, with "/" replaced by "___", and an extension of ".patch".

debian/
debian/patches/
Patches are extracted to one of these directories. "debian/patches/" is preferred, if it exists. If DEB_PATCHES is present in the
environment, it will override this behavior (see "ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES" section below).
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
DEB_PATCHES
When defined and points to an existing directory, patches are extracted in that directory and not under "debian/" nor
"debian/patches/".
