It is trying to apply the patches to an already patched source. If you run the whole thing (debuild etc) you best start from a freshly unpacked source package. Otherwise you want to jump into the middle of the package build (e.g. patches already applied or so). Then you'll have to understand how that specific build system works (e.g. configure, make or similar). Cheers -- t
