You can't do it like this. With debian-packages for example, quilt
patches live in ‘debian/patches’, which the ‘basename’ call would trim
down to ‘patches’.

If you do need special QUILT_PATCHES treatment, you can set a
‘quit-patches-dir’ style; if the treatment needs to be fancy, you can
also set the style to a function, which opens up the door to whatever
you like.
