Dear Maintainers,

python3.13 has an extraneous/stale build-dependecy on 'quilt'.

With modern '3.0 (quilt)' packages this build-dependency
is not needed anymore: the task of applying the patches
at build-time is handled by dpkg itself.

The manual maintainr rule "update-patches:" is not called
during the build, but only in preparation,
this way 'quilt' is used akin to 'git' but not needed
for build itself.



Greetings

Alexandre
