According to the dh_quilt_patch man page:

dh_quilt_patch simply calls quilt push -a after having set the environment 
variable QUILT_PATCHES to debian/patches. All patches listed in 
debian/patches/series are then applied in the current directory. The command 
does not fail if the patches have already been applied.

https://manpages.debian.org/testing/quilt/dh_quilt_patch.1.en.html

I'm ok with documenting either command.  Which one would you prefer?

I can confirm that quilt push -a works for me.

I've no idea how I managed to miss that!  That's my bad!
