Ahhhh README.source ... please that is the WRONG location.
README.source is about how the debian package of itself (quilt) in this
case was prepared, not how to use it!!!
Please move that info to README.Debian or README.Using_Quilt or whatever,
the place is damned wrong, to repeat what lintian states:
Info: This package build-depends on a patch system such as dpatch or
quilt, but there is no <tt>debian/README.source</tt> file. This file is
recommended for any package where <tt>dpkg-source -x</tt> does not result
in the preferred form for making modifications to the package.
.
If you are using quilt and the package needs no other special handling
instructions, you may want to add a <tt>debian/README.source</tt>
referring to <tt>/usr/share/doc/quilt/README.source</tt>. Similarly, you
can refer to <tt>/usr/share/doc/dpatch/README.source.gz</tt> for dpatch.
Specifying usage instruction for quilt in quilt/README.source is wrong.
Best wishes
Norbert
