I'm limited on the help --- I don't know the debian build system that well (What's the "changes-file", specifically?).
I know that that hardy and earlier used "quilt" as the patch system. The patch is a p1 patch -- have you tried applying it directly to the source tree with patch -p1 <axis.patch in the top directory?

If that doesn't work by hand, then finding the tweaks would be
necessary. Most of the diffs are the debian "stuff" to apply the patch.
The code changes themselves are small --- I believe a header file, the
argument addition, and two places where x and y are transposed.

I'm not running intrepid yet, so I can't help on applying and testing
it. Just got my toy recently and am still trying to get it setup right.

I haven't contacted the original author of the patch --- maybe he/she
has a patch set that hasn't made it on to the web page yet.

Bug description:
I reported this as a question -- but it didn't have space for attachments. I'll try to link the question to this.

I've added the patch from http://www.helsinki.fi/~rantalai/synaptics/ that adds rotation to the synaptic touchpad, so it can be properly oriented relative to an xrandr rotation of the screen -- you can read sideways and use the touchpad without trying to apply a rotation matrix to your fingers.

The change is the addition of 99_axis_patch.diff into debian/patches, adding it to debian/patches/series and updating the changelog.
