In csound, we follow the following naming pattern:

0xxx for patches taken from upstream git
1xxx for patches that should be forwarded upstream
2xxx for debian-specific patches

So, most likely all 0xxx patches have to go away, and 1xxx need to be
reviewed. In any case, all remaining patches have to be refreshed so
that they apply without fuzz.

As noted, we use quilt. Use[1] quilt pop and quilt push to
apply/unapply patches, and the file debian/patches/series contains the
order in which they are to be applied.
