Package: dpkg-dev
Version: 1.15.3.1
Severity: minor
dpkg-source(1) man page reads:
-b directory [format-specific-parameters]
Build a source package. The first non-option argument is taken
as the name of the directory containing the debianized source
tree (i.e. with a debian sub-directory and maybe changes to the
original files). Depending on the source package format used to
build the package, additional parameters might be accepted.
dpkg-source will build the source package with the first format
that works from this ordered list: the format indicated in the
Format field of debian/control, the format(s) indicated with the
--format command-line option(s), "1.0", "3.0 (native)". See
below for an extensive description of various source package
formats.
1) The wording "the format indicated in the Format field of
debian/control" may give an impression (*) to add new field to
debian/control:
Format: 3.0 (native)
2) Please state that the format tag, e.g. "3.0 (native)", can be stored in
debian/source/format
(*) As a non-native speaker, that's how I read it.
