Agreed. Maybe "dgit.default.gbp-quilt=QUILT-OPT"? While we're at it, it would be useful if dgit also looked at configuration parameters at debian/dgit.conf in the debian repo, per my observations here on the debian-devel list thread[1], so there can be branch-specific configuration options. Given that whether a branch is patches-applied or patches-unapplied, whether the gbp quilt configuration parameter should be set a particular way is a property of the branch.
