Hi,

to fix bug #1031299 of package r-cran-ggalluvial a patch for the
DESCRIPTION file[1] was used to fix the minimum version of dplyr.
Despite this patch the resulting package ended up with the wrong
versioned dependency as specified in the unpatched DESCRIPTION file.
Thus a second fix[2] was needed to finally force the correct versioned
dependency.  It would be easier if dh-r would respect patches inside
the DESCRIPTION file.

Kind regards
   Andreas.
