Hi,

as announced in 
http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2010/05/msg00010.html
the dpkg team no longer has any plan to switch the default source format
to "3.0 (quilt)" and as such this release goal is meaningless.

Instead maintainers have to be explicit about the source format chosen
because debian/source/format will become mandatory. This long-term transition
is tracked in
http://lintian.debian.org/tags/missing-debian-source-format.html

Maintainers are still highly encouraged to switch to one of the newer
formats: either "3.0 (quilt)" or "3.0 (native)".

Cheers,
