Indeed!  The rather odd patch series came from me collapsing a branch of
patches into a single file from the upstream source control, rather than
melding the patch series into a single patch before dumping it into the
file.  Since quilt was happy with it, I didn't think to check other
problems that might have caused.

The patch has been since applied upstream, so the troublesome file was
deleted in the last upload of letsencrypt.

I'm fine considering this one as user-error and having it closed,
Guillem, unless you want it open for some other reason.

Sincerely,
