I agree about not wanting to delay 1.1 any further by having
developers re-upload their packages. However, couldn't someone write
a new script or modify Ian's, to convert the existing .tar.gz and
.diff.gz files into the new format? This could then be done batch
style on all of the files already on master.debian.org. Updating
debian.rules to actually to do this automatically could wait.
