This should be libffm_0.21-2.diff.gz
Debian source packages have three parts, one is the original source
(orig.tar.gz),
the other the diff.gz and the third a description file called .dsc

The diff.gz is an ordinary gzipped patch file which can be applied with

> zcat  libffm_0.21-2.diff.gz | patch -p1

in the package root directory.
You may do this with your sources or take the libffm_0.21.orig.tar.gz
from the debian mirror.
