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.
