Actually, apt-get source applies them for you! Note when you download:

dpkg-source: extracting gqview in gqview-2.0.1
dpkg-source: unpacking gqview_2.0.1.orig.tar.gz
dpkg-source: applying ./gqview_2.0.1-1ubuntu1.diff.gz
celtic at xyrias:~/as$

It tells you where it will extract it, actually goes ahead and does it, 
then applies the diff patch.
