Given that dpkg-source is not able to build such source package, that request seems somewhat misfiled at this point. If you really want to invest your time in such a project instead of fixing whatever you don't like in 3.0 then get your plans laid out correctly: - don't call that format "1.0", you should at least use "1.1" or something like that - prepare the required patches for dpkg and have them accepted - wait until that version of dpkg is in stable - update dak to cope with the updated format Cheers, -- Raphaël Hertzog Like what I do?
