I'd guess Charles meant the following addition to
README.feature-removal-schedule, from the dpkg source package:
What: substvars support in dpkg-source and dpkg-genchanges
Status: deprecated
When: lenny+1
Warning: program
Why:
substvars do not make sense during generation of .dsc and .changes files.
This also means that it won't be possible anymore to override the Format
field output by dpkg-genchanges.
