All I have done is compile it successfully. The patch you're pointing to is no longer needed. As Arnout said, python-smbus is installed by the i2c-tools package, but the source code of python-smbus is in i2c-tools. The issue with the patch you're pointing to is that it was sharing variables between python-smbus.mk and i2c-tools.mk, which is not correct (relies on the assumption that i2c-tools.mk gets included before python-smbus.mk, which is true because alphabetically they are ordered properly, but the same strategy wouldn't work in the opposite way).
