Oh, NOW YOU'VE DONE IT! 
A patch contains only differences from the previous release. For example if you found out there were a few bad sound files, or you left something out you'd simply package them up on their own meaning that when it installs it overwrites or adds to the dmod directory in this case.

What you're suggesting is a new version which is not a patch unless you're just packaging the altered files. When installing dmods it will only overwrite a file if it already exists.
