Package: dpatch
Version: 2.0.30
Severity: wishlist

For packages with build systems as awful as Eclipse's, not all the patches can
be applied at the same phase in the build process.  It would be nice to be able
to apply a named group of patches at once with the group being maintained in a
file in /debian/patches, and still being able to use deapply-all to restore 
everything to the unpatched state.

Suggested command line syntax: dpatch apply-foo

While there are several ways that groups could be specified in 00list, it seems
like the easiest way to handle it would be to require cpp mode and pass in the
group name as a define.  If you want a non-cpp mode for the feature, you could 
have 00group.foo files.  'all' would read 00list and all 00group files, while 
'foo' would only read 00group.foo.
