Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: dpkg

from http://bugs.debian.org/574097:

".dsc files haven't always had a Format field.  It was introduced in
dpkg 1.6.13, in May 2000.  This means that it's still not entirely
implausible to run across source packages without Format"

I would hope to see Collin's patch backported to lucid
