Actually, the first issue is that the patch doesn't apply to the source
fully. I tried a later patch from Debian, but it also doesn't apply. I
haven't been able to try fetching a later revision of the net-tools Git
repo, because I first have to make Git not depend on net-tools.
This patch will try to apply the patch and handle the exit codes of
gunzip and patch correctly:
