Okay, I haven't yet tried it myself, it should just serve as a starting
point. Maybe some other commit needs to get reverted as well.

Ah, OK.

Since the patch modifies the upstream source code, I had to re-pack
it, as you can see from the updated name of the package (~dfsg1).

He, what else do you expect a patch to do?! Drop it in debian/patches
and be done with it, or am I missing something?

If you change the upstream code, adding a file (like your patch does), dpkg-source ain't happy at all, because it finds discrepancies between the .orig.tar.{gz|bzip2} (created using pristine-tar from the clean upstream branch) and the upstream modified with the patch. No good. The only way is to re-pack the upstream source tree with the patch applied.
But maybe I'm doing it wrong.
