You seem to be implying that you are running the actual upstream build
process from debian/rules; is that correct?
The Debian builds that I am familiar with don't use the upstream
Makefile, for example.
The crucial question is:
Does quilt run during the Debian build?
If it does, then you need to build-depend on quilt. If the series file
is not where Lintian expects it, then you need to provide the Lintian
override.
