Not trivial, really? You can pass the first and the last patch on the command line, this seems quite simple to me. That was only implemented [1] and documented [2] in quilt 0.47, while the Debian bug was originally created for 0.46, maybe this is why? The only thing your patch allows which isn't possible today is removing some patches inside the range. But that's quite risky, as there's no guarantee that the resulting series will apply cleanly, let alone build... In general I doubt there's really a use case for this, I suspect people are always emailing contiguous ranges of patches, and quilt allows for that since April 2007. So I think you can just drop this patch.
