I wouldn't understand the policy so that you have to explain how to use
dpatch, but that your package uses dpatch (i.e. the person willing to
update your package shouldn't have to guess that dpatch is used).
IMHO it can't be that each package using dpatch (or cdbs, or...) has to 
have explanations
on how to use it, but I'm no DD and wasn't part of the discussions, just
plain old common sense.

This said, dpatch in unstable contains now a README.source(.gz).
