It just doesn't fit the design of dpkg-source, so no. You could add a --verbose option to dpkg-source but I don't agree to reuse DH_VERBOSE for that purpose. > To "grab" output is not efficient.

It involves code changes to run patch in non-quiet mode by default and to redirect its output in a pipe that dpkg-source stores in memory. The output read by dpkg-source is only displayed if dpkg-source fails to apply the patch. That way you have the full output in case of errors and nothing otherwise (avoiding clutter).
