It's no hard dependency. The only benefit of that line is to add this
line to ./configure:
$ dpkg-buildflags --export=configure
CFLAGS="-g -O2 -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -Wformat
- -Wformat-security -Werror=format-security"
CPPFLAGS="-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2" CXXFLAGS="-g -O2 -fstack-protector
- --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -Wformat -Wformat-security
- -Werror=format-security" FFLAGS="-g -O2" LDFLAGS="-Wl,-z,relro"
Removing that line does not change anything for success of the build
process itself.

Well, I'm sorry but we're developing for Stable+1 not Stable. That's how
things generally are in Debian.
However, asking for other opinions I am convinced now, that adding build
dependencies for package versions which aren't fulfilled in stable
should be denoted by a versioned build dependency. Thus, I will add it
for the next upload.

It doesn't. dpkg includes support for quilt packages when using 3.0
source packages as we do. dpkg-source will automatically apply patches
upon extraction of the source package. That's true for the Squeeze
version as well.
You only need quilt if you want to work yourself on the package, e.g.
for refreshing patches or introducing new ones.
