Do I understand this correctly - that it prevents a package cross-binutils-0.1 to generate binaries called binutils-arm-linux-gnueabi-2.24-3 binutils-arm-linux-gnueabihf-2.24-3 unless cross-binutils-0.1 is package format 1.0 rather than 3.0? Doing the above is the right way to build packages which are Built-Using: binutils (=2.24-3) Making the binutils-<triplet> binary packages have 0.1 version numbers would be unhelpful and cause issues with 3rd party installs (newer packages with smaller version numbers). I guess requiring this to be done as a 1.0 format package is OK within debian, but derivatives or anyone who needs to hack around a bit would be better off if it was a 3.0 package, and that's the format I prefer to use, as general good practice. So unless I'm confused the above seems like a reasonable use-case where this new restriction is problematic.
