I agree that dropping the patch system is a bit of a pain if we need to introduce patches; particularly for SRU's where *adding* a patch system is frowned upon (traditionally favouring directly applying the patches!). I also thought there was a drive to try and get Debian packages to 3.0 ($something).
Anyway, *I* would favour trying to stay with 3.0 (quilt).. However, I don't care that strongly. If you NMU this to Debian then i care even less; as i'll sync whatever you put there making this branch obsolete.
This is currently blocking mcollective installation on Oneiric, so please update on what you want to do; and lets get it done.
