Another option might be to record a dummy patch, using --ask-deps to
make it depend on the patches in question.  (Ideally, this could be a
tag, but darcs does not appear to support --ask-deps for tags -- at
least in the version 1.0.5 which I use).

The advantage of doing it this way is that the patch history will be
preserved¹, and that it is robust if the patches have been
distributed.

¹ Okay, that is a disadvantage if the point was to clean up the patches.
