If the presence of that file doesn't confuse other programs from the
dpatch suite, it is of course the best option.

When we have a config file, that file should have an option to
directly point the origtargz finder to the direct path. I am currently
debating with the svn-buildpackage maintainer to have a user-specific
config file in the home directory containing a list of package names
and locations for .orig.tar.gz files. Maybe dpep could support that
file as well.

Yes, that would probably be it.

I'll prepare a patch.
