As I see it: currently there is version 0 and 1. Suppose one day version 2 is added. Requirement for version 2 will include requirement for version 1. If you want to implement version 2, you will have to implement version 1 even if it is not useful, say for a Arch: all source package. However, if you don't need version 2, you can stay to version 0. As a parallel, some of my packages are still using DH_COMPAT=1 debhelper interface, and no one is complaining. Cheers, -- Bill. <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Imagine a large red swirl here.
