I believe that the "Darcs way" to do so is through a naming convention
for patches. Unlike CVS, patch log messages are identifiers, not just
comments.

darcs record -m '[Upstream] Fix security bug...' file.c
darcs record -m '[Debian] Fix the clean target...' rules

Then you can do things like:

darcs pull --patches='^\[Debian\]'
