Source: pkg-config
Version: 0.29.2-1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: bookworm sid
Usertags: format1.0 format1.0-kp-nv
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.
This mass bug filing was discussed on debian-devel@:
https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2022/03/msg00074.html
Thanks
Lucas

None of those advantages are relevant for pkg-config, and that's hardly
a balanced view of the packaging format. pkg-config is intentionally on
1.0 until something genuinely better appears, so I'm closing this bug.
