Here's a patch which drops the quilt Build-Depends, and instead uses the
3.0 (quilt) source format to let dpkg-source take care of applying the
patches.  (It also includes a fix to make debian/rules obey
DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=nocheck.)

Why I'd like to see this: the context is my pbuildd project, where the aim
is to bootstrap the Debian archive from source packages and a minimal
starting chroot created by debootstrap, with a minimum of downloading truly
self-build-depending packages like gnat.  Since html2text is a dependency
of debhelper, that means I need to be able to bootstrap html2text very
early in the process, where bootstrapping quilt isn't quite as easy.
