That was more retorical. For everyone to think about and decide for
themself. :) It totaly depends on the kind of workflow you have.

Unfortunately (for you) the 3.0 (quilt) format switched to have the
patches applied by default. dpkg-source -x will apply them. clean will
not unapply them. That works better for people that use feature
branches and merge them into master to get a source with everything
applied.
Have you tried adding this to the clean target?
QUILT_PATCHES=debian/patches quilt pop -a
