Bug#4263: dpkg-source requires patch

["Susan G. Kleinmann" <sgk@sgk.tiac.net>]

Package: dpkg
Version: 1.3.8

In unpacking the sgmlspm dsc file on a fairly fresh system, I found:

# dpkg-source -x sgmlspm_1.03ii-2.dsc 
dpkg-source: extracting sgmlspm in sgmlspm-1.03ii
dpkg-source: failure: exec patch: No such file or directory
dpkg-source: failure: patch gave error exit status 2

Once patch was installed, dpkg-source completed successfully.

Since patch isn't in base, I assume this means that the dpkg Depends
field has to be amended to add 'patch'.
