Package: dpkg-dev Severity: wishlist It's been my plan since some time to modify dpkg-source to produce new source formats by default, now that the archive accepts the new formats, it's about time to look closer on how to make this happen.
For Debian as a whole, we need to fix the bugs listed here: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?users=hert...@debian.org;tag=3.0-quilt-by-default For dpkg-dev, we need to decide on how to handle this auto-conversion. Currently, dpkg-source has a logic to write the source format into debian/source/format at unpack time when the format is different from "1.0" (see Dpkg::Source::Package::extract()). This ensures that the non-default format is reused for the next build. This would need to be revisited obviously if 1.0 is no longer the default format. In theory, uploads to (old)?stable(-security)?/p-u are built with the dpkg-source in that suite so they should not be affected by this change but maybe there are some measures to take to avoid problems nevertheless?
