As I said previously, and as it is documented in the Debian TeX Policy
Draft, the format should not be hardcoded. As you found out, the code I
gave to you gives a wrong result on sarge, but that is a bug in the
sarge teTeX packages that is fixed in sid, and you can rely on it not to
reoccurr: We introduced it deliberately to work around other package's
bugs in sarge, but we won't do this again, but instead refer those
packages to the TeX Policy.
