It seems they are used during the build, although the package does not
FTBFS if quilt is missing. I noticed the following in the build log:
,----
| for p in $(QUILT_PATCHES=debian/patches quilt series); do
QUILT_PATCHES=debian/patches quilt header $p; done \

`----
This error is not fatal, but the end result is that emacs23-common's
README.Debian lacks any information about the Debian patches.
