A custom bzip2 option in debian/source/format file is 100% useless these days.

Example patch attached.

Subject: d/source/options: remove custom options

Reportbug used to use bzip2 format for orig source tarball since
it is superior to gzip. However, nowadays dpkg-source uses XZ
by default, which is better than (somehow) deprecated bzip2 format.

Comparison on tarball size:

  * bzip2: 194106
  * xz: 192420

Deleting debian/source/options to use default value from dpkg-source.
