Not really. The other reason I changed from the old way (ie 
/usr/src/glibc-2.3) to the new way (diff in the debian/patches), is to 
have scripts mergeable upstream, and not ugly ones to get our files 
included from this path. Also moving the files from /usr/src/glibc-2.3 
to sysdeps usually create problems because the order of the search for 
including file is different.

What I can propose is either
1) split the glibc-2.3.5.diff a bit more to have the debian patch, 
kfreebsd-fixes.dpatch, kfreebsd-scripts.dpatch, kfreebsd-sysdeps.dpatch 
and kfreebsd-ugly-hacks.dpatch
2) Have a copy of the whole sysdeps/ directory

What do you think
