You could consider this if an upstream patch is rejected. Otherwise I would
not bother with maintaining a dpatch for such a simple change.

Actually, I would like to confine the patches to "necessary" cases, i.e.

* modifications due to Debian specifics

* severe bugs that need urgent repair

* enhancements that are agreed on by Debian users/packagers but rejected
  upstream (after careful consideration) it they require changes to the
  system files.
  
Patches are a lot of work: you need to maintain them as outdated patches
are a cumbersome as outdated documentation.
