Did you ever have to deal with source packages and found the variety of patch systems simply mind-boggling? I certainly have.
Enter: the unstoppable Michael Vogt.
If you are running lucid and don’t have ubuntu-dev-tools installed, install it now. Forget about all the crazy stuff and incantations you might need for random patch system X, Y or Z (it supports cdbs, dpatch and quilt at the moment), just type:
edit-patch <name-of-patch>
and it will do the rest for you, even remind you do make use of the patch tagging guidelines.
Michael simply rocks! Give him a hug and if you find bugs in edit-patch, file them.
Great. We discussed exactly this feature on one bug jam and came to the conclusion that it would be nice to have it.
Thanks! mvo FTW!!!
Awesome!

How about forwarding this to the Debian devscripts package and keep ubuntu-dev-tools for Ubuntu-specific stuff?
Hello foo – sounds like a good plan to me, are you going to file the bug for getting it integrated?
