FILES

       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/".
