FWIW, while this is hashed out on the Debian side as to whether to
revert the change, or allow an override flag, or whatever, this is
what I've applied in Ubuntu to allow us to get on with life. This
seems to me like a reasonable solution for now. I realize most
people don't read warnings from dpkg-buildpackage but, on the other
hand, I also don't think people need to be halted in their workflow
due to a strict adherence to Debian policy in dpkg.
(As an aside, I do tend to consider our use-cases that allow mixed
version/format a bug, but some of them are a bit hard to solve, like
telling people doing automagic recipe builds that they now need to
have pristine-tar info in their branches when they didn't before.)
