Package: dpkg-cross
Version: 2.3.0.1
Severity: wishlist

dpkg-cross introduced -dcv1 packages for compatibility with older
installations, ooh, quite a some time ago now. Something to do with
changing formats. Is this code still actually useful (i.e is anyone
still using a system with bits on so old that this stuff helps), or
should we just drop it now?

Needs a bit of research to remind ourselves of the issue.
