Hi,


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)


The advantages do not really apply in this case. The packaging has been
stable since many years, despite a tried switch to 3.0 which was
reverted:


I already started working on this. It is implemented on github.

stable since many years, despite a tried switch to 3.0 which was
reverted:

lmodern (2.004.5-5) unstable; urgency=medium

  * go back to source format 1.0, dpkg/quilt creates irrelevant
directories in case no patches are available, breaking builds
(Closes: #906762)

I would close this bug, but for now wishlist and add tag wontfix.

Bug#1007060: lmodern: please consider upgrading to 3.0 source format

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@:

Thanks

Lucas
