In order to support this:
1) dh needs to be patched to add a function to its sequence
addon interface that adds a command a new sequence.
2) quilt's sequence addon needs to be modified to use that
function to create a patch sequence and add dh_quilt_patch
to it.
The next debhelper release will handle #1 via
add_command($new_command, $sequence), so reassigning to quilt.
I've tested the following working in quilt.pm:
add_command("dh_quilt_patch", "patch");
You might want to dress this up slightly to avoid crashing if it's
used with an older debhelper that does not support add_command. Maybe
just putting it in an eval block would be sufficient. I assume you
don't want to make quilt have a versioned dependency on debhelper.
