obviously every odd 8th of the upper voice is identical to the 2nd voice -
except for the duration (this is true for about 80-90 percent of the piece).

my question is how to proceed to have a minimal effort and not to write the
same notes twice.

You may write lower voice first, i.e. 

d4 fis b a g e fis g

then copy it, change initial 4 to 8:
 
d8 fis b a g e fis g

and insert remaining notes form the higher voice. However it will screw any relative mode used, and even despite that i doubt if it would save you a lot of time :/

is there a function to automatically add the "quarters" to the second
voice?!

I don't know of any readily available. However, i'm pretty sure that such function can be written.

HTH,
Janek
