Okay, my answer to that will be:
that will introduce a plethora of problems including
1. sort order depends on user's locale
2. backup file names (~,.bak,$$$) need to be handled
3. version control file names (,v .git {arch}) need to be handled
which will not work with the current model of dpatch, and will
break some part of original functionality of dpatch.
See cdbs 'simple-patchsys', is that what you have in mind?
I think it's not addressing 1, and 2 and 3 are handled with hardcoding
patch name extentions, which isn't really required in dpatch. (not
that I really agree with current dpatch situation)
