Package: python3-protobuf
Version: 36.0~rc1-1+b1
Severity: important
The python3-protobuf packages in Debian experimental switched to a
different version scheme:
```
$ rmadison -s unstable,experimental -a amd64 python3-protobuf
python3-protobuf | 3.21.12-16 | unstable | amd64
python3-protobuf | 36.0~rc1-1+b1 | experimental | amd64
```
But 36.0~rc1 is not the version number that is used by upstream for
releases on Pypi. The current version there is 7.36.0rc1.
Debian omits the major version part.
I think that is confusing and python3-protobuf versions should match
the versions that upstream uses for Pypi releases. Everything else
seems to be very fragile for versioned dependencies on
python3-protobuf.
(This might require that src:protobuf overrides the "Version" field
for some binary packages.)
