For Intrepid, we can probably pull this from Lenny:

   * debian/control:
     - change my email address so this upload doesn't appear as a NMU.
     - build-depends on quilt patch system.

Intrepid Ibex reached end-of-life on 30 April 2010 so I will close this report against Intrepid. The issue remains open in Jaunty.
