I've just did some tests on my 3 quilt-managed source packages
(whichman, dictd and zapping).
It seems format 2.0 doesn't work at all for such packages:
LC_ALL=C dpkg-source --format=2.0 -b whichman-2.4
dpkg-source: info: using source format `2.0'
dpkg-source: info: building whichman using existing
./whichman_2.4.orig.tar.gz
dpkg-source: warning: diff
`whichman-2.4.orig.kHu7K8/debian/patches/series' doesn't contain any patch
patch: **** Only garbage was found in the patch input.
dpkg-source: failure: patch -s -t -F 0 -N -p1 -u -V never -g0 -b -z
.dpkg-orig -E gave error exit status 2
Format "3.0 (quilt)" always create a
debian/patches/debian-changes-*.diff file which reverts any changes made
by other existing debian/patches files. Additionally it gives some
warnings for whichman:
LC_ALL=C dpkg-source --format="3.0 (quilt)" -b whichman-2.4
dpkg-source: info: using source format `3.0 (quilt)'
dpkg-source: info: building whichman using existing

dpkg-source: info: building whichman in whichman_2.4-4.debian.tar.gz
dpkg-source: info: building whichman in whichman_2.4-4.dsc
...and fails with the following error for dictd:
LC_ALL=C dpkg-source --format="3.0 (quilt)" -b dictd-1.10.10.dfsg
dpkg-source: info: using source format `3.0 (quilt)'

I've also tried one non-quilt-managed package, and both format 2.0 and
3.0 worked as documented on it (2.0 created zz_debian-diff-auto which
wasn't automatically applied, in contradiction to debian-changes*.diff
from 3.0).
