The following packages still are in the old package format:
Packages in main
cdwrite_2.0-1.deb
deliver_2.1.12-2.deb orphaned
dld_3.2.6-3.deb orphaned
figlet_2.1.1-3.deb orphaned
j1_7-7.deb orphaned
manpages-de_0.1-6.deb
mh-papers_6.8.3-1.deb orphaned
p2c_1.20-2.deb
rc_1.4-2.deb orphaned
rspfd_0.04-1.deb
sam_4.3-1.deb orphaned
sox_11gamma-1.deb orphaned
term_2.3.5-5.deb orphaned
xcompat_3.1.2-4.deb orphaned
xloadimage_4.1-2.deb
Packages in non-free
arrl-infoserv_1.0.0-0.deb
auto-pgp_1.04-0.deb
dmalloc_3.1.2-1.deb orphaned
giftrans_1.12-6.deb orphaned
witalian_1.0-3.deb orphaned
wnorwegian_1.0-3.deb orphaned
xsnow_1.40-1.deb
Many of them are listed as orphaned in the "Work Needing and Prospective
Packages" list, but some of them are not. Time for a mantainer-ping?
(the last dpkg versions don't recognize the old-format packages, so
a dselect install run over a local mirror of unstable will always fail
in the main section, thus skipping contrib and non-free).
