How should I handle the beckport of a package in source format 3.0?

A changelog entry like:

  * Switched back to source format 1.0:
    - added quilt to build-depends
    - enabled quilt in debian/rules

is correct or is considered better to force format 1.0 removing the file
debian/source/format and letting dpkg-source to collapse all applied
patches in a big diff.gz?

Kind regards,
Marco
