You should not use absolute paths when creating the patches. With the
patch shown above application would fail with -p0, too. If you were
using quilt or git you'd get this right automatically. I'm sure this is
described in the Guru Guide.
For completeness sake, you can pass -p0 in the series files after the
patch name. Grep for "-p0" in ptxdist for find some examples.

Best regards
Uwe
