Well, it says quilt *should* be used for patch management, because 
it's recommended but not mandatory. However, if you want to convert a 
package from dpatch to quilt, there is the 
'/usr/share/doc/quilt/examples/dpatch2quilt.sh' script in the Debian 
quilt package that does this automatically for you. You'll be 
surprised how easy this goes. ;)

Yes, it's a bug in your package. Keep cool, no need to apologize. ;)

Cheers,
