It does this already as I said, quoting the dpkg-source manual page: | [...] dpkg-source will apply the patches by itself | if it believes that they have not yet been applied. To detect this situation, it | uses the following heuristic: it finds the list of supposedly unapplied patches | (they are listed in the series file but not in .pc/applied-patches), and if the | first patch in that set can be applied without errors, it will apply them all. The | option --no-preparation can be used to disable this behaviour. But dpkg-source is only called when you build the source package so it works for "debuild/debuild -S" but not for "debuild -b/debuild -B".
