Using the new format (which is only a presentation form) is orthogonal
to cdbs/dpatch/quit/simple patch sys usage. Although, I agree, having
a patch system emebedded in dpkg to become the official patch system
would have been a good thing, that is not what the thing is about.
Err, sorry, I didn't read the whole thing:
Changes to upstream may then be stored as separate patches in
the debian/patches directory, and are applied automatically
(with the same rules as run-parts) to the upstream source when
the package is unpacked.
