Comments are optional but the first line is needed now as:
#! /bin/sh /usr/share/dpatch/dpatch-run
I had the same impression as yours.
I guess changing following 2 lines should fix situation.
line 416: test -x ${patch} || chmod +x ${patch}
line 434: if eval ${patch} -patch ${wd} ${redir} ${stamp}.new 2>&1; then
I guess drop 416 and run dpatch-run in 434.
Probably, deapply needs fix too.
I do not know this is caused by some design decision or not. (CCing to current
