If there is just a single patch against the Debian source then
adding a patch system that Debian doesn't have (even if it
was used in the previous Ubuntu version) is overkill.
If however you merge a package where a previous uploader added
a patch system then you may as well keep it.
Yours was a bit of a corner case, and some will disagree with me, but
I took the opportunity to remove the patch system while sponsoring.
You didn't do anything wrong, and the package would have worked
fine.
