It is as simple as:

mv debian/patches/00list debian/patches/series

rename s/\.dpatch$/.patch/ debian/patches/*

edit debian/patches/series to add .patch to the patch names

maybe edit debian/patches/*.patch to remove all the dpatch comments
and just leave the patch descriptions and other human-readable info.

Set this in your ~/.quiltrc since it makes nicer patches:

QUILT_REFRESH_ARGS="-p0 --no-timestamps --no-index"

quilt push and quilt refresh each patch to update them.
