Solved - solution based on many pages like:

http://cs-people.bu.edu/doucette/xia/guides/debian-patch.txt
https://wiki.debian.org/UsingQuilt
(and many more I forgot ... sorry)

So, I will try to write some quick steps so you can build your own
fglrx-installer-updates package until properly released:

1. Get needed tools installed:
sudo apt-get install quilt
sudo apt-get install devscripts

2. Get the sources and build dependencies:
apt-get source fglrx-updates-core
apt-get build-dep fglrx-updates-core

3. Start patching:
Change into src dir (or whatever it is named):
cd fglrx-installer-updates-15.200
Push all existing patches:
quilt push -a
Create a new patch (or import MatthewHawn (steamraven) 's one - see quilt reference above).
So you took the edit way - here it is:
quilt new kcl_acpi.diff
Add a new file to modify:
quilt add lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod/kcl_acpi.c
Edit the file and apply MatthewHawn (steamraven) 's patch (or use the diff - any way you're confortable with):
nano lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod/kcl_acpi.c
Refresh quilt:
quilt refresh
Unapply all patches:
quilt pop -a
Give it a version and txt:
dch -i
Now you need to edit some more (I coulden't package it without editing - and quilt could not help me anymore):
nano debian/rules

line 435:
-  done \
+ done; \

line 440:
-  execstack -q $$i && execstack -c $$i || true; done; \
+ execstack -q $$i && execstack -c $$i || true; \

line 445:
-  execstack -q $$i && execstack -c $$i; done; \
+ execstack -q $$i && execstack -c $$i; \

line 450:
-  execstack -q $$i && execstack -c $$i; done; \
+ execstack -q $$i && execstack -c $$i; \

Save it and run:
debuild -us -uc

4. Install:
cd ..
dpkg -i fglrx-updates-core fglrx-updates fglrx-amdcccle-updates

Sorry for the brevity - I write on the run atm. and kinda retracing from memory - I hope I didn't skip / barf something :)
I am running the modified version and I can confirm that it works for me :)
Thank you MatthewHawn (steamraven) for providing the proper patch - I missed graphical interface :D
Regards
