Oh, of course, see http://dep.debian.net/deps/dep3/ for details.

Example headers:

,----
| A patch created by the Debian maintainer John Doe, which got forwarded and rejected:
| 
| Description: Use FHS compliant paths by default
|  Upstream is not interested in switching to those paths.
|  .
|  But we will continue using them in Debian nevertheless to comply with
|  our policy.
| Forwarded: http://lists.example.com/oct-2006/1234.html
| Author: John Doe <johndoe-guest at users.alioth.debian.org>

A vendor specific patch not meant for upstream submitted on the BTS by a Debian developer:

,----
| Description: Workaround for broken symbol resolving on mips/mipsel
|  The correct fix will be done in etch and it will require toolchain
|  fixes.
| Forwarded: not-needed
| Origin: vendor, http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?msg=80;bug=265678
| Bug-Debian: http://bugs.debian.org/265678
| Author: Thiemo Seufer <ths at debian.org>

They intentionally look a bit like the output of git-format patch with
some extra fields.
