   Agreed.  Maybe "dgit.default.gbp-quilt=QUILT-OPT"?   
      
   While we're at it, it would be useful if dgit also looked at   
   configuration parameters at debian/dgit.conf in the debian repo, per   
   my observations here on the debian-devel list thread[1], so there can   
   be branch-specific configuration options.  Given that whether a branch   
   is patches-applied or patches-unapplied, whether the gbp quilt   
   configuration parameter should be set a particular way is a property   
   of the branch.

   If you prefer I can create a separate feature request bug for this.
