Search for the package name on <a href="https://www.debian.org/distrib/packages" rel="noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.debian.org/distrib/packages</a><br>

When you find the package in the Debian search, click on the<br>
version you want (the version you're packaging for SBo, if it<br>
exists), and on the details page there's a "Download Source Package"<br>
section... the debian patches are found inside the file with a name<br>
like "whatever_1.2.3-1.debian.tar.xz"<br>
<br>
Sometimes it's a .tar.gz, sometimes it's a .diff.gz, sometimes there's<br>
extra components in the version number (dfsg shows up a lot), but you<br>
get the idea.<br>
<br>
The HandBrake patch I based mine on is in the<br>
handbrake_1.5.1+ds1-1.debian.tar.xz tarball, as<br>
debian/patches/0001-Remove-embedded-downloaded-copies-of-various-librari.patch<br>
<br>
Hope this helps. I probably should write it up in more detail and<br>
post it somewhere more permanent than this...<br></blockquote></div></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Thanks everyone!
