Search for the package name on https://www.debian.org/distrib/packages

When you find the package in the Debian search, click on the
version you want (the version you're packaging for SBo, if it
exists), and on the details page there's a "Download Source Package"
section... the debian patches are found inside the file with a name
like "whatever_1.2.3-1.debian.tar.xz"

Sometimes it's a .tar.gz, sometimes it's a .diff.gz, sometimes there's
extra components in the version number (dfsg shows up a lot), but you
get the idea.

The HandBrake patch I based mine on is in the
handbrake_1.5.1+ds1-1.debian.tar.xz tarball, as
debian/patches/0001-Remove-embedded-downloaded-copies-of-various-librari.patch

Hope this helps. I probably should write it up in more detail and
post it somewhere more permanent than this...
