Public bug reported:

The section on merging from Debian
http://developer.ubuntu.com/packaging/html/udd-merging.html does not
mention how to cope with quilt packages; doing 'quilt pop -a' is
apparently recommended before merging a package using quilt to manage
its patches.

(Except that it doesn't work, doing quilt pop -a first then causes
merge-package to fail because there are local uncommitted changes;
needing to spuriously add commits for unapplying and applying the quilt
series seems bogus to me.)
