IIRC, dpatch doesn't call "patch -p<foo> -i debian/patches/<patchfile>",
but instead it executes the file, and if it's just a normal unified
diff, there's some magic in the header that causes patch to be called
properly. Therefore dpatch probably requires that patches be executable
and just sets the permissions as needed.
