I would also like a clear answer to this question as, even with all my previous research, I still don't fully understand the 
difference between the 'quilt' and 'native' formats.

For a search of "debian difference between quilt and native", DuckDuckGo's DuckAssist (AI) provided this summary:
'The main difference between "3.0 (quilt)" and "3.0 (native)" in Debian packaging is that the quilt format is designed for 
packages that require patching of the upstream source, while the native format is used for packages that do not need any 
modifications and are meant to be built directly from the upstream source. Essentially, quilt is for packages that involve 
changes, whereas native is for those that are unchanged.'

And, it linked to as references for that summary:
https://wiki.debian.org/Projects/DebSrc3.0
https://github.com/knxd/knxd/issues/107 ("Debian package format should be native not quilt")

I also found this:
"What is the difference between a native Debian package and a non-native package?"
