Nothing *wrong* as the hard meaning of that word.
But:
* They carry the usual set of downsides of 1.0 vs 3.0, like:
- no support for .tar.(bz2|xz|…)
- no support for multi tarballs
* possibility of bugs due to the implementations of the patch/unpatch
routines in d/rules
* also similar to the above, you can't assume the state of the
unpacked source (patched or unpatched?)
* they are different from no good reason (0.5% vs 94.8%), and
consistency in complex setup carry some good points by itself
And at the same time I can't really think of any good point of keeping
them 1.0.
IMHO, they aren't "wrong" or "inherently bad", but I believe keeping
them that way is more of technical debt than anything else.
