Debhelperizing debian/patches



Might it be useful if debhelper does what currently only dbs does?:
If you have a directory debian/patches, it applies those patches during
build.

Many packages already make use of this, and it'd be rather convenient of
debhelper had the ability.

Also, if it would become standard practice to make a README.patches
in the debian/ directory which would describe the purpose of all the
patches, then debian packages would be much more readable and
well-documented.
