I really don't care if you disagree or not. The format is expected to
change and already changed in the past, that's why it's versioned...
BTW, Can't you read?
Just to emphasize as you seem to just skip to the part where you can
complain for nothing at all:
"Format: <VERSIONED_FORMAT_URL>"
...
"Moreover..." => see?
Honestly, if it displays a pedantic lintian warning, I would just ignore
it but as DEP5 states that a versioned URL must be used... That's why I
made you change that.
Also, I don't understand why suddenly you're forwarding these emails on
the mailing list, I guess that again, you have nothing else to do than
complaining and wasting everyone's time for nothing, get a life...
