Bug Description

I cannot build the ubuntu source package gst-plugins-good1.0_1.20.3-0ubuntu1.dsc. I am doing:

> dget -q http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/g/gst-plugins-good1.0/gst-plugins-good1.0_1.20.3-0ubuntu1.dsc
> cd gst-plugins-good1.0-1.20.3/
> DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=nocheck dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -d -nc -b

and I receive the error:

../gst-libs/gst/basecamerabinsrc/meson.build:28:3: ERROR: Unknown variable "static_build".

I am testing inside of an ubuntu:jammy-20220801 container.

I have narrowed the issue down to a patch in the changelog on the 15th Mar which states "Import plugins from -bad that are needed for main applications". This patch imports some "bad" plugins into the source but the meson file isn't setup correctly for this to work. Manually removing the patches related to the bad plugins fixed the issue.
