I assume that the change native => quilt could be used for the final R14 and 
certainly for subsequent SRU in R14. In order to use quilt also for the 
nightly-builds, it requires to modify scripts that you use to prepare 
packages for nigtly-builds.

For example, it should need to change the version number used for base 
tarball "orig.tar.bz2" because it is not possible to use dash for a version 
of "upstream" package on Debian. Instead of 14.0.0-0debian11+r274+pr2~wheezy 
would have to be used, for example 14.0.0~r274 for the base tarball 
orig.tar.bz2. And distribution specific version would in this case be: 
14.0.0~r274-0debian11~wheezy.

It is therefore a question, whether is now a good time for such a change?
