I think that if someone went through the trouble of specifically putting
1.0 in that file then there is a reason for it. Such a person will have
been anoyed with the lintian warning about missing debian/source/format
and will have considered and rejected changing to 3.0 (quilt). Anoying
him yet again will not help.
