Either the file would need to be encoded as a text file, or (perhaps the better option) the package needs to be migrated to the newer 3.0 (quilt) format.

Ahhh, thanks for solving the problem. I'd personally probably had
converted to source format quilt 3.0 since I see no reason to keep
the old format but from a users point of view that's irrelevant and
your solution is fine as well.
Thanks a lot for your work
Andreas.
