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. -- regards, Mattia Rizzolo GPG Key: 66AE 2B4A FCCF 3F52 DA18 4D18 4B04 3FCD B944 4540 .''`.
