dpkg-source --commit produced a patch with all Unix line endings, which 
failed; running that through unix2dos gave a patch with all DOS line 
endings, which also failed, with

(Stripping trailing CRs from patch; use --binary to disable.)
patching file Effects/model-combined-transparent.eff
Hunk #1 FAILED at 12 (different line endings).
1 out of 1 hunk FAILED
dpkg-source: info: the patch has fuzz which is not allowed, or is malformed
dpkg-source: info: if patch '766251.patch' is correctly applied by 
quilt, use 'quilt refresh' to update it

Evidently what is required is Unix in the headers and DOS in the actual 
patch lines.  I consider it a bug that dpkg-source --commit doesn't 
produce that, but haven't yet reported it.

Since this is an arch:all package, it only needs to build on your system.
