Yes, quilt (like git) is based on a collection of scripts written originally by Linux kernel hackers. It was designed specifically to deal with the patch sets for the Linux kernel. Doing little Debian packages is scaling *down* considerably for it. :) I hadn't realized that the X Strike Force was still using quilt even after your switch to using git.
