Yes it does =)

dpkg-buildpackage has learned to create compatible .pc directories and
even coping with various quilt format versions.

I do have --with quilt in my packages (pkgcrosswire team) because i
build for 3.0 for sid, lucid & 1.0 for karmic, jaunty in ppas.

Yeap. You can even specify additional options in debian/source/options
with respect to prepare / not-prepare. This way you can keep your git

patch the tree again at buildtime from $vcs and it will apply patches
when unpacking the static source package.
