 Erm, please do *not* copy the quilt's README.source. By doing so you
are going to lose updates to quilt's README.source unless you track
them, which is uneccessary maintenance overhead.

 Try to avoid this guide duplication the same way as with code
duplication for (almost) the same reasons. Rather write into the file
just a short snippet (if you really feel like it) and refer to
/usr/share/doc/quilt/README.source for deeper insight.

 Thanks,
Rhonda
