:-)

I have found that the duo works best this way:

- init quilt
- make changes under quilt supervisions
- when satisfied, convert to dpatch 

[ repeat for as many patches as needed ]

I wouldn't use quilt alone, because it is stack based and I mostly try
to make all patches completely separate from each other.

To the original poster: for more information on dpatch and how to use
it in debian/rules, see my previous mail:
