My understanding is that a patch is a kind of "assertion", i.e.
it enforces that the included packages have version numbers greater
than the unpatched ones. If you remove a patch, no package will change,
but it will then be possible to downgrade the packages in the
patch to old versions without a package conflict.

Cheers,
  Michael.
