Ouch!

Unfortunately this does not work.

I added a printf "$retval\n" just before the [ -z "$patch" ] and:

$ quilt push
0
No patches in series
$

I suspect that $? catches the variable assignment rather than the launched 
command.

I agree that calling cat_series twice is rather suboptimal, but I suppose we 
could fix my previous patch just by adding >/dev/null to the first call.

Anyways, I'll look a bit more into it, and try to have a cleaner patch.

Ok, sure. But I'm not creating patches specific to Debian, am I? ;)
