Current consensus where? In the Multimedia team?

I fail to understand how a wishlist issue like bug#572204 should stop us 
from using the new source format.

If anyone is confused about how the new format works and can integrate 
most elegantly with our packaging style (which is similar but not 
entirely the same as the preferred one of Colin Watson) then let's 
discuss it - I believe I have found a useful set of routines, which 
could be put into README.source.

The new source format is great.  It should be used as much as possible 
as quick as possible!


Kind regards,

  - Jonas
