Michael's queston is related of if the patch does any difference.

Current libzypp downloads allf iles listed in content file (patterns do) and 
parses all .pat files as patterns, and it should work for more than 1 pattern 
perl file.

If it did not work is because autobuild did not do it that way.

Note that this breaks architecture filtering before downloading, unless the 
patterns are still splitted by arch, and named correctly.
