I may be mistaken, but as far as I know, if ticket #9876 has 4 patches
A.patch,...,D.patch, of which only D, B and C are to be applied, after
applying the patches from ticket #9999 and #8888, you simply need to
provide a comment that contains the lines

depends on #9999, #8888
apply D.patch, B.patch, A.patch

So, the patchbot would only send out a message if one forgot to
indicate how the patches should be applied (which is an important
information anyway).

Cheers,
Simon
