This is also a significant issue for downstreams. With my Ubuntu hat
on, if I have to touch packages downstream, I loathe it everytime I
get a non-descript blob of all the changes.

I suspect this is the same for other downstream distributions that
want to modify packages. We cannot cater to everyone's individual
packaging repository approach, and downstream repositories if they
exist are separate anyhow.

Using 1.0 instead of 3.0 (quilt) is just being a hostile upstream,
like Red Hat is with dumping all their kernel patches together.
