quilt: release and debug versions of series file

Question

Is there any proper way to apply different series of patches with quilt. I need it for release and debug version of series file. I want to use series.debug or series.release file for debug or for release version of linux kernel accordingly.
Or maybe there is another appropriate way to apply different patches?

Answer 1

I found the answer in quilt man page:

quilt recognizes the following variables:  
...  
QUILT_SERIES - The name of the series file, defaulting to "series". 
               Unless an absolute path is used, the search algorithm 
               described above applies.
