I've looked at the source and it looks like the /var/lib/oss4 path and the OSSVARDIR var were introduced in the debian/patches/cmd.patch and debian/patches/os_cmd.patch patches. Also extra files were edited:

Maybe someone who has previous experience with quilt/cdbs could fix it. -- package oss4-dkms 4.2-build2002-2 failed to install/upgrade: oss4 kernel module failed to build https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/519577 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
