Define "good". I mean the quilt handling is now done by dpkg-source so
the source package doesn't contain any quilt logic (so it can't be good or
bad).

Some "3.0 (quilt)" packages with patches: quilt, ftplib, libxml-mini-perl

Many things need an update indeed. Also -i -I are not needed anymore with
3.0 source packages, they are implicit by default.

"If package version is not at -0 or -1 Debian revision, you must provide
dpkg-buildpackage command with the "-sa" option"

That's also outdated, -sa is needed if the last changelog entry is not the
first one for the given upstream version.
