I still think there is a reasonable argument for allowing a simple default like this without custom configuration. That is currently one of the strong points of cdbs' simple-patchsys; it is very simple. Sure more flexibility is nice for some people, but having good simple standard default behavior can go a long ways in maximizing the utility of dpatch.
