Package: quilt
Version: 0.48-7
Severity: wishlist

quilt package provides few Debian specific functionality.

/usr/share/perl5/Debian/Debhelper/Sequence/quilt.pm
/usr/bin/dh_quilt_patch
/usr/bin/dh_quilt_unpatch
... and few more for cdbs helper scrips

I think it may not be harmful to check a package to be:
 * not 3.0 (native) format
 * not 3.0 (quilt) format

I think that a package should not have debian/source/format at all or
specify 1.0 there for this kind of helper script to work.

This is an idea for the sanity check code with minimal drawbacks.

What do you think.
