Package: mlton Version: 20091107 Severity: wishlist Hi,
I don't understand why you changed mlton to be a native Debian package in version 20091015. mlton is not a package that was written specifically for Debian. Even if you do all the maintenance of upstream, it still makes more sense to have the upstream source separate, with the Debian changes as a patchset. This is especially confusing given that you're using a new upstream version taken from svn r7263. That would suggest that the proper version numbering would have been: 20070826+svn7263-1 or something along those lines. This would require adding an epoch to change now. Alternatively, you could date the package off of the svn version, but keep it as a non-native package.
