That's pretty much it to activate dpatch support. You have to generate
the individual patches (with any means confortable to you) and convert
them into dpatch format.
mkdir debian/patches
touch debian/patches/00list
Fill in the variables:
patch=tmp/main.c-fix-compiler-errors
desc="Fixing compiling errors"
tofile=debian/patches/10_$patch
dpatch patch-template -p "$patch" "$desc" < $patch > $tofile
chmod +x $tofile
... add the 10_* dpatch just stored into this list
edit debian/patches/00list
The above is untested, I use bash function to automate all this, so
this is only an example of the work flow.
To test your set of patches be at root dir of the source (seeing the
debian/ dir):
dpatch deapply-all
dpatch apply-all
