So the removal of --without-quilt is no problem because it only causes dpkg
to emit a warning about an unknown option.  That's good.

I wonder if we are really, really sure that nobody relies on
.dpkg-source-applied.  I would hope that nobody assumed that to be an
interface for something (e.g. to read a patch list from)?

Kind regards,
