well... you have two sorts of patches:
The maemo source packages are Debian-style sources which sometimes contain
patches to be applied before building the source. In addition you sometimes need
patches to apply additional fixes to build the sources with OE. These patches
are managed in OE, but so far OE doesn't have a mechanism to handle the patches
included in the source package. Of course you can extract these patches and add
them to OE manually, but it makes maintainance of it much more complicated.
