Ok, should be enough time left.

I use debuild and sbuild.
But in sbuild It seems, that _before_ starting the the build, a last
time "debian/rules clean" is executed - without applying the patches.
Normally, this is no problem, but in libsbml "clean" means "delete
everything and unpack the sources". This behavior is changed, not
shure, around april/may?. Maybe, in pbuilder we have the same?

I just found another solution: in debian/sources/options I can set
ignores for changed files, and I'll try to find all during the
build created and changed files.

uscan --verbose --no-download

Newest version on remote site is 5.10.2+dfsg, local version is
5.10.0+dfsg => Newer version available from
    https://qa.debian.org/watch/sf.php/sbml/libSBML-5.10.2-core-plus-packages-src.zip
-- Scan finished

Anyway, I'll focus on 5.10.0 first.

Best,
