 For the record, I just updated the entry with respect to
"dh --with quilt" and the required Build-Depends, thanks to all for the
feedback.

 It works against the principle of using 3.0 (quilt) in the first place
and indeed loses informations. It might be considered acceptable, but
it's not that clean of an approach and given that the required changes
aren't that intrusive I rather would like to discourage doing so.

 Thanks,
