Hi,

If simple-patchsys.mk is included, and debian/patches doesn't exist (or
is empty), the build just hangs.  You can see the cause of the hang
here:

19608 pts/13   S+     0:00 /usr/bin/make -f debian/rules clean
19638 pts/13   S+     0:00 /bin/sh -c if lsdiff=`which lsdiff` ; then
$lsdiff -H  | egrep "/config\.(guess|sub|rpath)$" | tr "\n" " " ; fi
19641 pts/13   S+     0:00 /usr/bin/lsdiff -H
19642 pts/13   S+     0:00 grep -E /config\.(guess|sub|rpath)$
19643 pts/13   S+     0:00 tr \n


The DEB_PATCHES variable ends up being empty, which means that
  $$lsdiff -H $(DEB_PATCHES) 
ends up being `/usr/bin/lsdiff -H`, which simply hangs.  This definitely
should not end up in sarge.  One can fix it by adding a patch to
debian/patches, or commenting out the simple-patchsys.mk line.  Of
course, when someone updates their package to a new upstream version,
deleting merged patches, and then discovers that the package no longer
builds, they may not realize this immediately.  :)

I don't know when this happened, but looks like this patch is already applied.

I'm closing this bug.
