Move single-debian-patch to local-options
* Move single-debian-patch to local-options and patch-header to local-patch-header so that they only apply to the packages I build and NMUs get regular version-numbered patches. Change-Id: I8c0fe6bd544fafca774feebde7664b8cf975cfeb

+Subject: Collected Debian patches for wallet
+Author: Russ Allbery <rra@debian.org>
+
+Since I am also upstream for this package, there will normally not be any
+patches to apply to the upstream source. However, occasionally I'll pull
+up specific upstream commits prior to making an upstream release. When
+this happens, this patch will collect all of those modifications.
+
+I use Git to maintain both the upstream source and the Debian packages,
+and generating individual patches rather than using git cherry-pick takes
+extra work for no gain. Since I'm also upstream, there's no need to
+separate the patches for later upstream submission. Hence, I take this
+approach with a unified patch when it's necessary.
+
+For full commit history and separated commits, see the upstream Git
+repsitory.
