Package: dpatch
Version: 2.0.21
Severity: wishlist

When using dpatch with a --workdir, dpatch creates this directory as
empty directory. This seems contraproductive to me, since the first
action of the dpatches being invoked might be to check if the work
directory exists (for example, as indication that some tarball has
already been unpacked).

Please check whether it might be possible to have dpatch not create
the work directory.

Greetings
Marc
