rm debian/patches/this-got-fixed-upstream.patch, vi debian/patches/series,
commit? :-)

Or more generally, to do it the git way, if the rest of the patch series
might need non-trivial adjustment:

git checkout debian/master              # old version, patches-unapplied
gbp pq import                           # moves to patch-queue/debian/master
git checkout debian/master              # or gbp pq switch
gbp import-orig ../whatever.tar.gz
dch
git commit -m "New upstream version"
git checkout patch-queue/debian/master  # or gbp pq switch
git rebase -i debian/master
gbp pq export                           # back to debian/master
git add debian/patches
git commit -m "Refresh patches or whatever"

(Substitute master for debian/master if DPMT doesn't use DEP-14,
but moving to gbp pq might be a good flag day to do that too. Then
you'll never have to get your local version of Debian's master branch
mixed up with your local version of upstream's master branch.)
