Thanks!

So the main question I think I have is:

can we find a middleground where the git workflows don't require staying
with 1.0? Even if that means switching to 3.0 (quilt) using the
single-debian-patch approach?

Also, how would that work with packages that combine direct changes to
upstream, and quilt for Debian-created patches? Examples of such
packages are:

            package            | quilt patches

 xdm                           | 8
