No, only 005 and 201 (current keyword subst mode: o).
Other patches still have 'kv' mode.

008, 008.new, 200 and 402 has $Id: lines in them but
still apply (with fuzz).

Probably, it's a matter of preference to keep 'kv' as
long as possible (as long as it doesn't break things),
just for pleasure of seeing yourself mentioned in
source files. ;)

Looks like bug in dpatch, really. It's funny to see
how dpatch is called with right cmdline, i.e.
`dpatch deapply
   405_subsystem_remove_*_in_shell
   404_undef_USE_PAM
   ...
   001_Makefile.in.in`
but then patch decides to reverse the order again. :)
