I have been on VAC for the past two weeks and don't check emails while  
on holidays, normally. Sorry, that you had to wait for my reply.

Patching a Debian src:pkg is easy.

Drop a patch that applies to the upstream code into debian/patches and  
add the patch file's name to debian/patches/series.

You can use quilt for managing patches:

Building the Windows X2Go Client against Qt5 is on the X2Go team's todo list.
