Apologies if I'm asking you to repeat for failing to read properly.
Do I understand correctly that

- you were offered two patches S and B
- patch S was your source code change
- patch B was your build script change
- that patch S was offered before B
- when you accepted S, B was automatically accepted as well without giving
you recourse?

If so, that is not normal.  The behaviour I would expect is

- it offers B first
- if you reject B, it does not offer S

I'm trying to think of possible ways the behaviour I think you reported
could arise.
By any chance were you using the --reverse flag?

Are you still using Darcs enough that you can dig up an example?

Thanks,
