Hello,

I've been told dpatch(1) has an example of how to change debian/rules. I learnt
it from my sponsor, and I've noticed it's more hackish than necessary.

This patch adds another option to the example using
/usr/share/dpatch/dpatch.make. I've added it before the other example as I think
people should use that one so that future improvements/fixes to the
patch/unpatch targets in dpatch.make are automatically taken by the packages
using it. Feel free to disagree with me and put it as a second example if you 
want.

Best,
Emilio
