I'm not quite sure what 'this' is. If you want to apply a bunch of
patches to a git repo, there are multiple options:

git am -- Apply a series of patches from a mailbox
git quiltimport -- Applies a quilt patchset onto the current branch
git apply -- Apply a patch to files and/or to the index

and others.

For a set of Debian diffs, 'git quiltimport' is probably what you're
looking for.
