It's not clear to me what the problem is... dpkg-source uses utime() to reset the timestamps after it has applied the patches so that all the modified files have the same timestamp. See code in Dpkg::Source::Patch::apply(). AFAIK the ctime can't be modified except if we do things like chown/chmod on the file. I don't see why "quilt push" would modify it... I would argue that your package is broken rather than dpkg-source.
