The packaging documentation points to the dpatch man which doesn't provide
these detailed informations.
(I have read (the French version) of "Debian New Maintainers' Guide"
it does not provide these informations related to omited patch listed in
00list, neither if the order in 00list is meaningfull or not.)
If there is a detailed doc specific for dpatch I was not able to find it both
through google [dpatch documentation site:.debian.org] (until the tenth page)
and I don't find either dpatch specific docs through the search field on
debian.org's index)
(well, this is just to say that I did have searched before to ask)

Please give me the link! :p :-)
