Bug Description
Binary package hint: ubuntu-dev-tools
I was working on a package and I wanted to know about its patch system:
mruiz@numbat:
cdbs
The result wasn't expected because cdbs is a build system. For this case, the patch system was simplepatch.
Cheers!

What-patch's check which outputs "cdbs" doesn't look if the build system is there, but just if "patchsys" is imported or not (so if a package is using cdbs but with dpatch as packaging system it should output "dpatch" correctly).
IMHO "cdbs" is pretty clear (as simple patchsys is the most common patch system for cdbs packages and actually the command for it is called "cdbs-edit-patch"). Do you still think this should be changed?
