[Quilt-dev] Recursive instances?

[Mike Mestnik]

Hello,
  I'm working on a [1]project that has problems re-applying
[2]patches.  I though to use quilt to manage if the patches are
applied, perhaps not the simplest solution.  The issue I have is that
somewhere during dpkg-buildpackage the patch file is being changed.
The 3 .pc files are being removed from the patch.

1. https://github.com/cheako/0ad/tree/debian-svn
2. 
https://github.com/cheako/0ad/blob/debian-svn/libraries/source/spidermonkey/patch.sh

The patch, debian/patches/usequilt.patch:
