I don't see how you could use quilt and maintain compatability with git-dpm. git-dpm expects all patches to be in git, and will update debian/patches automatically from git. quilt writes patches directly in debian/patches/* and doesn't support git. Not something that concerns me personally, quilt was starting to become very painful for me. I regularly ended up forgetting the "quilt add" operation before editing files, resulting in invalid patches. -- Brian May <b...@debian.org>
