Hi!
It would be very helpful if the dpkg source format 1.0 could also allow
.orig.tar.bz2 packages in the archive. The reason for the request should
be quite obvious - more and more upstream packages are shipped in bzip2
compressed tarballs. Given that conversion to 3.0 might not always be
the best idea just for the benefit of being able to use .orig.tar.bz2 it
would be great if the same could be allowed for source v1, too.
Thanks in advance for considering,
Rhonda

I already answered to the bug report and I have no plan to change the
legacy format to support this.
Instead I prefer spending my time on fixing the problems that some people
might still have with the new formats.
Thus closing this bug.
