I'll just note that without adding the dependency and quilt.mk, the patch did
*not* get applied on build. When I noticed this effect, and saw the note in
the cdbs documentation, I added those bits and then the build worked. I
didn't chase it down further (since by all accounts, I was now doing the right
thing) so perhaps there was something else going on.

In any case, if these are no longer necessary, then it's a bug in the cdbs
documentation. I'm not particularly motivated by a love of cdbs to want to
submit a bug report or patch. :)
