It is best applied using media_build and using a copy from the patchwork
server. You can just copy the raw email to a text file, but sometimes it
is malformed.

Since you originally used s2-liplianin you just need patchutils to apply
it to that. However, since it is older, I doubt it will apply cleanly.

For media build, check if the required packages for Debian Squeeze are
the same as Ubuntu.

But, it appears the patch makes no difference.

MEDIA BUILD INSTALL (Instructions here are for Ubuntu)

Using Terminal install git, patchutils and perl with
sudo apt-get install git(or git-core)
sudo apt-get install patchutils
sudo apt-get install libdigest-sha1-perl
sudo apt-get install libproc-processtable-perl

Always build somewhere in your home directory with local user rights.
Only use super user rights to install. 

git clone git://linuxtv.org/media_build.git

cd media_build

---NO PATCH---

./build

sudo make install


---PATCH TO BE APPLIED---

Download any patch and place in the media_build directory and apply in
the following way.

./build (skip this if already built)

Wait for download and start to build. If you are confident that the
build will complete without errors break the build with <CTRL> C

Apply the patch. Make sure if applying multipliable patches they are
applied oldest first.

Just test the patch.
patch -d linux -p1 --dry-run < the_patch_name.patch

If okay apply it.
patch -d linux -p1 < the_patch_name.patch

make distclean

make

sudo make install
