--single-debian-patch is no longer "new" at this point. The fact that you
were not using it and relying on dpkg-source to generate a different patch
at each upload was just bad taste IMO.

Most people relying on dpkg-source to generate the patch of what's stored
in the VCS are already using single-debian-patch (BTW, it's better to put
it in debian/source/local-options).

And as you noted, we took care to ensure that people relying on this
option don't get the new behaviour.

I'm afraid the error message is already verbose enough and I don't
want to give conflicting recommendations.
