[Bug 136863] [NEW] debdiff: make debdiff "patch -p1" compatible for native packages (or when interdiff not available)

Binary package hint: devscripts

Currently I'm using the following script snippet to make a debdiff compatible for "patch -p1":
sed -i -r 's~^(---|\+\+\+) /tmp/\w+/~\1 ~g' foo.dsc.diff

Normally, debdiff uses interdiff to accomplish this, but only if there
are diff files available. This is not the case for Debian/Ubuntu native
packages at least (e.g. missingpy).

Does it make sense to add this functionality to the debdiff script?
