If you want to work with quilt for creating and managing patches in
general, you need more than changes to debian/rules.
If you only want to use quilt to apply/unapply patches at build time,
but manage and create patches differently, then changes to debian/rules
is enough. And for that, you can use /usr/share/quilt/quilt.make and the
$(QUILT_STAMPFN) and unpatch targets.
