There was an answer from the maintainer, 2 weeks ago:
https://lists.debian.org/debian-dpkg/2023/04/msg00001.html
Essentially, the answer was "no", so...

After Bookworm ships I plan to propose a policy change to the CTTE and
policy maintainers to forbid shipping files in the legacy directories
altogether, followed by a debhelper change to adjust any stragglers
automatically at build time and a mass rebuild, plus MBF for the small
% that does not use dh and a piuparts test to stop migration for
anything that is uploaded and doesn't comply. That should bring the
matter to an end, without needing to modify dpkg.

Kind regards,
Luca Boccassi
