Comment 2 for bug 293106

Hi,

There is likely to be a push to make this format default in Debian this
(Debian) cycle.

  http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2009/03/msg00348.html

DAK support for this is not done yet (though there are now patches
available):

  http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=457345

Status of the effort is tracked at:

  http://wiki.debian.org/Projects/DebSrc3.0

This means that we could start seeing these packages come from
Debian as soon as the next couple of months. Therefore soyuz should
have a plan to support them, at least when syncing from Debian, if
not for direct upload at first.

It would be pretty terrible for Ubuntu if we were unable to sync packages
from Debian due to them switching the default format with soyuz support
in place.

Thanks,

James
