Are you sure?
It does not look like the whole story to me.

I can see that for each source file, there is a *.done file,
but there are also a lot of *.done which seems to be related
to patches, and the patches are not present in the source directory.

Why are those files created?

What happens if two different packages have a patch with the same name?
