What is the use case of a default format if all packages provide debian/source/format ? Can we avoid to put a debian/source/format in our package if we agree to change our format when default in dpkg change ? (we must ensure that our package works with both format in this case) If yes, then what is the meaning of the lintian check ? (if no, then I really would want a use case of the default format) Or can we use 'default' in debian/source/format ?
