Some patches are floating around for this feature, but they didn't got
applied upstream yet. See for example:

http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/quilt-dev/2005-07/msg00033.html

A work around is to do:

  quilt pop your_patch && quilt pop
  patch < debian/patches/your_patch
  quilt remove your_patch


I'd prefer waiting for upstream to integrate this feature, because I cannot
use quilt to maintain patches against itself, but it's rather addicting :)
If it takes too long, I'll reconsider my position.
