Why not?
dpatch is a mostly obsolete Debian native package,
most recent upload 2015.
quilt still has some upstream development, but nothing big.
It might still be easier to revert the change in dh-autoreconf,
but dpatch and quilt are not packages where I would see any
potential problems with making and supporting a backport.
