Do not know if it is the right place but a dpkg-buildpackage bissection tool that will allow to bissect the debian/patches queue will be helpful.
I know git bissect but sometime it is useful to have tool insteaf of manually bissect patch queue by adding # to debian/patches/series
Hmm, I could see this being a new dpkg-source action perhaps (like in
git but for source packages), but doing this in dpkg-buildpackage would complicate it too much I think (and reminds me of an old request to
support building N times in a row, which was rejected for similar
reasons).
Thanks,
