Ah, thanks for explaining. The simplest way to get the behavior you expect
would be
quilt push -a
dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc
fakeroot debian/rules clean
quilt pop -a
rm -rf .pc
I agree with you that it would be nice for unapply-patches to become a
tristate so --no-unapply-patches could have the same effect, though.
If you find time to make a patch for this, I'd be happy to review it
(and if I get a spare moment, I might take a shot at it). Thanks for
reporting.
