I was looking at it and I thought it was going to be much more than 400
lines in the end.

Did we also need the other patch?
https://sources.debian.net/src/freeimage/3.17.0%2Bds1-3/debian/patches/Use-system-dependencies.patch/

On one hand we could carry a modified version of Debian's patch, on the
other hand some of these look like they could be a series of substitute*
commands. I started looking through the patch and thinking how to
convert them from "../path/to/header.h" to <header.h> and realizing I
myself wouldn't want to do that, so that could easily be an option for
another time :).
