Thank you.
I noted that the dates in the "smells" sections are still old. Could
you perhaps refresh those data as well, so that we have a better idea if
things today are even more "smelly"? :)

I think it would be excessive to say "no longer want to accept" this.
And, honestly, I'd leave this alone. old compat level are going away by
themselves without further pushing, plus Niels is also being somewhat
proactive to deprecate the very old ones.

Also dpatch. And also 1.0+quilt (ugh). !

Isn't this already a rc bug for a while? ISTR dpkg is basically
refusing to build them now, and it has been a Policy MUST for years.
They should already have an open bug, perhaps you could double check
this part. Or maybe I don't understand what you are talking about.
