Probably i misunderstood your question...

In reference to quilt, surelly you will not be able to rename a binary
file, since it's not possible to add a binary file to the sources via
quilt, because quilt is not compatible with binaries.

But that's good: imagine, for example, someone downloading the sources
of linux-libre from the fsfla's website. He will not be able to add a
binary file using quilt; so, pristine-tar will be enough to verify the
lack of binary blobs.

Cheers,

Aitor.
