Dear Maintainer,
Chapter 3 gives the right advice of defining an alias around quilt to provide
the debian-specific settings. That's very good because it's non-trivial to pass
the right config on the command line in this case.
But it breaks the quilt completion, that is rather handy too on the long run.
So here is a little patch to hint about how to have the quilt completion for
the dquilt alias too.
Thanks for your work,
Mt

modifications to the upstream source for Debian packaging. It's
useful to have a slightly customized default, so let's create an alias
<command>dquilt</command> for Debian packaging by adding the following
-line to <filename>~/.bashrc</filename>.
+lines to <filename>~/.bashrc</filename>. The second line ensures that
+this alias benefits of the same shell completion features than quilt
+itself.

Then let's create <filename>~/.quiltrc-dpkg</filename> as follows.
