It's impossible for debhelper to know that the quilt sequence addon is
in the quilt package. It's even hard for it to know if loading the addon
failed because it was not installed, or because the file doesn't exist.

The error message tells exactly what dh knows.
Note that you left off the end of the error message which is "or failed
to load module Debian::Debhelper::Sequence::quilt".
