Hi Holger, To achieve more consistency in the archive. There are now ~160 packages left that still use 1.0. I do not think it helps new contributors to have two format versions that they have to learn. You will probably know that there was a mass bug filing about this years ago, which missed your package. Thanks, Bastian
Control: tags -1 + moreinfo thanks is it enough to change debian/source/format or are there other changes needed?
I am including a debdiff with the necessary changes. If you do not want to keep debian/patches around you can also go with "single-debian-patch" in debian/source/options as given in #921461's debdiff.
Bastian, please stop changing the moreinfo tag, thanks. thank you! much appreciated. however, why does it touch debian/patches? uh, no, thanks. I definitly want several patch files, a single debian patch file sounds madness to me.
The debdiff touches debian/patches because the formerly applied patches are added as quilt patches.
