Author debian patch repository

Is there a cvs (svn/git/???) repository where patches applied for debian
packages are kept?

For ex. I'd like to see what patches are applied to the ppp source.

No single repository. There are package- and group-specific repositories
visible via http on hg.debian.org, git.debian.org and svn.debian.org;
coverage is far from complete.

$ apt-get source ppp
$ lsdiff -z ppp_*.diff.gz

is probably easiest.

For 2.4.4rel-9, you'll find several lines matching
ppp-2.4.4rel/debian/patches/*, so you should look at the files in
ppp-2.4.4rel/debian/patches (i.e. in the source which apt-get helpfully
downloaded and unpacked).

Why don't you try to build the package, and you will see what patches
are used.
You got the source ;)
