That was written before quilt integration moved into dpkg source package
itself as "3.0 (quilt)" format.

cat debian/source/format

If it has 1.0 or that file doesn't exists, then manually dh $@ --with
quilt needs to be used and the snippet added to cdbs.

With 3.0 (quilt), dpkg does the patch applying at unpack.

libpeas source package is 3.0 (quilt) format already (to gain .xz
tarball support).

Ok. Resulted in a bit of mirroring bandwidth around the world, but not
too much. It's not like the packages are several 100 MB.
