[Python-apps-team] Bug#823796: Phatch RC bug

Greetings,

I've tried merging this patch to submit an NMU.

This fails miserably because the existing patches are not applied in a
known order and dpkg complains loudly that patches are either fuzzy or
cannot be applied as-is.

To guarantee that patches are always applied in the same order, their
filename would need to start with a number e.g. 001_fix_for_foo.patch,
002_fix_for_bar.patch and the patches would probably need to be
refreshed anyhow.

Basically, unless someone is willing to overhaul Phatch's packaging
ASAP, it's quite likely to get removed from the Debian archive before
the Release.

Best Regards,
Martin-Éric
