Package: bash
Version: 3.2-5

  $ ls
  bash-3.2dfsg.tar.gz  debian
  $ ls -l debian/README.source
  ls: cannot access debian/README.source: No such file or directory
  $ debian/rules patch
  make: Nothing to be done for `patch'.
  $ ls
  bash-3.2dfsg.tar.gz  debian

See policy s4.9 for 'patch' target and s4.14 for README.source recommendation.

As it stands if you want an readable or editable patched source tree you have to read debian/rules, which is full of impossible-to-follow indirection.
