Package: dpatch
Version: 2.0.21
Severity: minor

Consider a standard case of dpkg-buildpackage invoking "build" first and
then "binary" next.

Adding a dependancy on "patch" to one's "build" or "configure" (or
whatever) target, causes this target to be re-run even when not strictly
necessary, during the second invocation.

Replacing "patch" with "dpatch-stamp" fixes the issue for me, but is
bound to break if dpatch.make changes behavior at some point to do
something important in the "patch" target (other than depending on the
stamp file).

I don't know if it can be fixed easily, other than recommending to
depend on "dpatch-stamp" rather than "patch".

Either way, I think it should be documented.
