Sometimes patches are removed.  Without single-debian-patch, the patch
queue will only get longer and longer -- there'll be both the patch and
another one later in the series that reverts it.

Also, single-debian-patch makes it clear to someone looking at the
source package that the source of truth is elsewhere.
