I agree. And this could also apply to "still using classic debhelper" and "package still using 1.0 format that would not really benefit from any major improvement by moving to 3.0". However, as I already argued back in 2013[1], I think that it would be very useful for lintian to track such things, maybe as a below-than-pedantic level (in [1], Jakub Wilk suggested a "F" (feature) tag, as in "it's not a bug, it's a feature"). If we had that, it means that the work I did could simply be done by running lintian on snapshot.debian.org, and tracking the popularity of interesting tags. And that it would be very easy to change the level of such tags when something moves from "new way to do $thing" to "suggested ew way to do $thing" to "recommended way to do $thing". I think I would even try to implement that in lintian myself if there was willingness from the lintian maintainers to accept such a change. Lucas
