My reason is that the quilt approach is what I know best.

I guess we can also use a feature branch istead of each patch. These 
branches then are merged into debian branch. I am not yet convinced 
this is necessarily better than quilt -- how do you make sure you 
don't forget to merge some feature branch? What if there are 
conflicts?

Another approach is TopGit, which I haven't tried yet.
