Even though it might be obvious, debian/patches/00list is specific of
the dpatch patch management system. *If* you are using that, then yes,
that file is authoritative on what is applied and on the order of
application. Please read the dpatch documentation.

In general patch order is relevant, as changing the order might induce
patch conflicts or generally context problems which inhibit patch
application. I believe that in most of our (d-o-m) cases the patch
order is mostly irrelevant though.
