I have a very minor objection: I think it's aethetic clutter to add
unnecessary file extensions (we're not DOS or Windows), and any decent
editor should figure out that it's a patch from either the file format or
the fact that it's in a debian/patches directory.  But I don't feel
strongly enough about it to do anything other than just write this
message.
