The thrust of that advice seems to be to drop all quilt patches, and
then it's just dropping debian/source/ as a side-effect.  I think this
is probably slightly misguided - it's perfectly reasonable to use the
3.0 (quilt) format even if you have no quilt patches, and as this shows
it can be useful to do so (another reason why it might be useful would
be if one needed to ship binary files under debian/).  You should check
with a CI train expert whether it's compatible, though.

Thanks,
