IMHO, it advertises scripts/cleanpatch or scripts/cleanfile. I think
that we do not need to repeat it for each affected patch.

In fact, using scripts/cleanfile is questionable. IMHO, it does not
make sense to fix indentation just because it looks better. It makes
problems when backporting fixes. But it might make sense to fix it
when you do some real change on that line.
