Obviously it is for the team to decide on your preferred packaging
practices, but I feel I want to offer some suggestions:
Based on the commit message I think this change may have been the
result of a desire to get rid of 1.0 format source packages. Another
option besides 3.0 with single-debian-patch would be to use the "3.0
(native)" format (still with a non-native version number).
I sugest this because the package currently has no patches; so, it's
not clear that the "3.0 (quilt)" format, which has quite some
complications, is pulling its weight here.
On the other hand maybe team policy is that the smae format should be
used for every package. There is certainly value in uniformity.
Please let us know if there's anything else we can do to support you
better.
Regards,
Ian.
