I couldn't figure out what that meant, or why it was appearing; but
I saw it too when creating the package. Since the patches applied
correctly in spite of the message, I ignored it.

I do know what that one means - the g-b-s uses patch -Z to
preserve timestamps, where a file will have the timestamp
listed in the diff rather than when it was patched; but it breaks
down if the file was patched on the side, so that the starting
timestamp no longer matches. Again, it should be harmless.

If anyone else has ideas on how to silence messages like
this, short of a g-b-s patch to run patch in quiet mode, I'm
all ears.

I thought so - hopefully more people can pronouce it now.
