Perhaps.. this is a good point for you to go talk to the zen/Red
Carpet developers about their experiences trying to support the patch
rpm feature.
FWIW:
SuSE has abandoned patch-rpms. They now (IIRC, since SuSE-9.2), use
delta-rpms (cf.
ftp://ftp.suse.com/suse/i386/update/9.2/deltas).
Both, patch- and delta- rpms are reported to be usable with apt.
