Description: Adds the --dep3 option to include a DEP-3 template in the header.
 .
 Intensively using quilt for Debian packages and trying to adopt the
 DEP-3 Patch Tagging Guidelines for my patches, I often get to go on
 http://dep.debian.net/ to find the correct fields.
 .
 The proposed patch adds a --dep3 option to "quilt -e header" that
 adds a template feeded to $EDITOR if the header is empty. The
 template contains all fields and documents them, with indications of
 required/optional.

NOTE: Even if DEP-3 has started within Debian, it has been written as a
vendor neutral specification and this patch should be forwarded upstream
too. --Raphael Hertzog
