If you're going to omit the ones in the last category, I think you should also omit the ones in the none/no/yes category, since they may be packages that intermittantly have changes and are similarly using a VCS-based workflow that doesn't want to use the 3.0 format. A mass bug filing for the first three categories seems like the change with the biggest potential to benefit Debian, since it's a direct simplification of the number of ways packages are maintained in the archive. The packages without any patch system feel a bit less interesting. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <https://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/>
