How to correctly patch without cdbs?



I have a package that needs four pactches.  I put the four patches into debian/patches and cdbs patches just fine.  I want not use cdbs if possible for I am confused at how exactly it is working, but what debhelper command do you use to patch?  I see none listed under "man debhelper", no dh_patch or anything.  I tried using dpatch but it complained it couldn't understand the .patch files syntax even when I changed them to have .dpatch endings.  I'm sure I'm not doing it correctly.  How do you correctly apply .patch files without cdbs?  Do you just have to hardcode all the "patch" commands into debian/rules?
