So, after a face-to-face discussion, it seems like the problem was 
dpatch.make did not set 'patch', and 'unpatch' as .PHONY.

The 'simple' solution looks like to set patch and unpatch as .PHONY.
I'm not sure how many packages already depend on this behavior, but
hopefully it won't break too many things.
