Uh, then why is it so easy for simple-patchsys?

Don't see it breaking anything. Inasmuch as that file was not previously
optional, there should be no cases where it didn't exist and anything
sane happened.

Exactly. I just see a lot of developer's who dislike dpatch, and I think
it would only take a few minor changes (this and bug #330808) to make
dpatch much more user friendly for the minimilists of us out there.
