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. It was noticed in https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2022/03/msg00096.html that the conversion for this package is likely trivial, and builds bit-by-bit identical binary packages. This mass bug filing was discussed on debian-devel@: https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2022/03/msg00074.html Thanks Lucas
