Thanks to the maintainers that already fixed their packages! I handled
most of the QA team packages, except for libsigc++-1.2 which we should
probably try to remove instead as it only has one remaining rdep.

I've done the MBF [M], and I'm planning on turning the substvar usage
warning into an error in the first dpkg release happening after two weeks
from now, at which point I'll upgrade the remaining bugs to serious.

Sounds good to me.

[MBF] Obsoleting Source-Version substvar

2016-07-09 Thread Guillem Jover 
Hi!

I'd like to obsolete the ${Source-Version} substvar, which has very
misleading semantics, and has been deprecated since dpkg 1.13.19 in
2006-05-04. This currently emits warnings from various dpkg-dev
scripts and from lintian.



I'm attaching the prospective dd-list, and the template bug report. I'd
like do the MBF in 1 or 2 weeks, and turn the warnings into errors in
the first dpkg release after 1 or 2 months from now. I'm easy if people
would like more or less time?

Thanks,
Guillem

Hi!

This source package uses the ${Source-Version} substvar variable
deprecated since dpkg 1.13.19 in 2006-05-04. That upload also introduced
the substvars binary:Version and source:Version which can be used
instead.

Using this deprecated substvar will become an error in the near
future. Please update the package.
