Thanks, this makes sense, as what distinguishes format 1.0 and 3.0 is that nativeness is also explicitly noted in the format version. I would consider a mismatch between those two as a mistake. Also checking the currently bogus packages in sid I think this change does not affect many at all. None for non-native, and the following for native ones: bespin chkconfig davical fenics getdata openoffice.org pimd python3-defaults tk-brief So given this I'm preemtively merging this locally on my 1.17.x branch. I guess we should file bug reports on those packages, and rise the severity after such dpkg is upload to sid.
