That is already done:

$ grep source/format -B2 -A19 /usr/bin/dh_make
sub output_source_format
{
	my $outfile = "source/format";

	if ( $main::overlay eq "" )
	{
		if ( $main::add_missing && -f $outfile)
		{
			print "File $outfile exists, skipping.\n";
			return;
		}
	}

	open OUT, ">$outfile" or die "Unable to open file $outfile for writing: $! \n";
	if ($debian_native)
   	{
		print OUT "3.0 (native)\n";
	} else {
		print OUT "3.0 (quilt)\n";
	}
	close OUT;
}
