Hi Glen,

It's not the format of the zip file, but the debian format of the DSC
file. In the error below it seems that the DSC Format was set as 1.7,
and AFAICS that exception is raised in the code unless the format is
"1.0", or "3.0 (quilt)" or "3.0 (native)". If that is the case, then a
better error message would be ideal.
