`dpkg 2.0' is a marketing term, AFAICT, and doesn't represent a plan
to do a rewrite - rather, a plan to add features.
The dpkg code is quite old, and badly abused by one particularly
prolific previous maintainer, so it is in need of an overhaul by an
expert C programmer. But a rewrite ought not to be on the cards IMO.
