Ok, mostly it is the patch name, altough i could have done that with a
bit smarter script, and the attributor of the patch. They are in the
second line. Usually, the comment should be moved to the ##DP: lines,
but this should be ok like it is.

Nope, there was 2.6.6 for upstream, 2.6.6-1 for the debian patch -1, and
2.6.6-2 for the debian patch -2, this was in order for third party folk
to be able to build agains different versions of the kernel package.
On the plus side, dpatch is able to have a per arch patch list, but this
is not really usefull for us in the current implementation.
