 ... I would even go that far to use -F Build-Depends,Build-Depends-Indep
Yes, quilt shouldn't be listed in Build-Depends-Indep because of the
clean target (see policy 7.6), but still there are quite a lot of
packages not doing it proper.

 If you can update your patch in that respect I'm willing to apply it
for you. :)

 So long!
