If your dpatches are simply patches and not scripts, converting to 3.0 (quilt) is a few minutes job: rename the files, rename 00list to series, adapt its content, remove your patch system from debian/rules, change the build-deps accordingly, write a debian/source/format file containing 3.0 (quilt).
