So, to be sure: Would somebody know why the patch was required in diffutils-3.3 and not anymore in diffutils-3.5?
The patch apparently works around a problem where Automake doesn't AC_SUBST for mkdir_p. There was some talk of Automake removing support for mkdir_p (it's still listed as deprecated in the man page). Perhaps Debian Automake removed mkdir_p support at some point, and then reverted the removal? That would explain why you don't need the patch any more.
