When browsing Debian packaging files used for Launchpad builds I have
found some strange patches [1], which are always applied before build
on top of GRASS source code. I am wondering why they are not
implemented in upstream (r_cross, rules_make) or even if they are
really valid patches (55253, 55285, 55286).

At a quick glance over it I think that they were needed to merge some
upstream patches into the rather outdated codebase in Launchpad.
With the updated codebase in Launchpad I would revert them, say, start
from the genuine upstream version.
my 0.02 cents (for sure I am not deep enough in the Debian/Ubuntu packaging),

I removed all these patches and requested a new build. Martin
