Not only do you not need that, it isn't even allowed:
--no-unapply-patches, --unapply-patches
[...] Those options are only allowed in
debian/source/local-options so that all generated source
packages have the same behavior by default.
See flatpak, dbus, ioquake3, or basically anything else I maintain
if you need typical examples of gbp-pq packages that sometimes or always
have patches.
(I would be delighted to switch src:tap.py to gbp-pq if you want an example
of migration.)
