Because of the lack of "touch patch-stamp", or anything else that creates 
patch-stamp, in the patch-stamp target, patch-stamp, configure-stamp, and 
build-stamp are redone when debian/rules binary is called. That might not be 
so bad in itself, but the upstream Makefile then tries to create 20 
directories that already exist, failing miserably.

I think that the "dpatch call-all -a=pkg-info > patch-stamp" found in 
dpatch(1) is just an example and irrelevant with simple dpatches.

So, in debian/rules,

        touch patch-stamp

at the end of the patch-stamp target should suffice.

In addition, tell upstream to fix the Makefile so that it does nothing when 
nothing needs to be done, instead of failing.
