The package infrastructure has the following behaviour :

 *) If there are patches named <pkg>-<pkgversion>*.patch, then they are
    applied, and only those are applied.

 *) Otherwise, patches named <pkg>*.patch are applied, as well as
    <pkg>-<pkgversion>/*.patch if the <pkg>-<pkgversion> directory
    exists.

See the $(BUILD_DIR)/%/.stamp_patched: target in
package/Makefile.package.in for more details.
