No one knows what the fuzz was all about, so we set it to 0.
I assume this was just meant to be funny, but just in case there is any seriousness in it: fuzz defines how many lines of leading and trailing context may be ignore when trying to apply a hunk in a context or unified patch. Fuzz N means ignore N lines of leading and N lines of trailing context, hence 2*N lines. The default for diff is to generate patches with three context lines, and the default fuzz value for patch is 2.
Well, I guess, Stephan knows very well, what the fuzz is about: it's about hundreds of patches, which will have to be regenerated, done as an employment-creation measure for this lazy gang of packagers. I'm not in the position to estimate the *failure* rate of wrongly applied patches because of fuzz, but I guess, it's going to train my abilities to manually adjust patches once again, or probably, if in doubt, resort to sed -i.
