What about just fixing the bug that was reported, first? (And adding
a case to the test suite to make sure it doesn't happen again.)

As I understand it, all "set -e" will buy us is that bugs in quilt
will cause noisy failures instead of quiet (but generally not silent,
as the failing command will likely complain as in Raphael's example)
failures. We still will have to fix the bugs. So I'm unsure if it's
really worth the change and efforts.
