You probably have a .quiltrc that sets non-default options
(e.g. QUILT_PATCHES=debian/patches).  The .quiltrc is not available in
the pbuilder environment, thus the build fails.

The quilt makefile /usr/share/quilt/quilt.make uses the `--quiltrc
/dev/null' option and sets QUILT_PATCHES by hand for this reason.
