While I'm not sure I would like this feature as a whole, compared to the status quo, the only way this would really work in a reasonable way (and maybe not at all in some cases without the duplication) is if you don't eapply them in a way that lists them again, but it would replace PATCHES functionality or you'd do some bash magic to eapply everything in $FILES that ends in .patch or something.
