Dear maintainer,

This package is among the few (1.9%) that still use source format 1.0 in
bookworm.  Please upgrade it to source format 3.0, as (1) this format has many
advantages, as documented in https://wiki.debian.org/Projects/DebSrc3.0 ; (2)
this contributes to standardization of packaging practices.

Please note that this is also a sign that the packaging of this software
could maybe benefit from a refresh. It might be a good opportunity to
look at other aspects as well.

It was noticed in https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2022/03/msg00096.html
that the conversion for this package is likely trivial, and builds bit-by-bit
identical binary packages.


This mass bug filing was discussed on debian-devel@:
https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2022/03/msg00074.html

Thanks

Lucas

If you do not want to move to format 3.0, please at least specify 1.0
format so that dpkg-source can move to default 3.0 format.
