I cannot reproduce that here. Do you have anything active that could
cause git-format's patch to garble that subject line (or rather why does
it try to put the newline =0A in the subject itself?)

If you use update-patches you have to put the dep-3 headers in the
commit message, so they end up in the generated patches.

Note that this explicitely allows the Author in From: and the having
a Subject: for parts of the description.
