Package: developers-reference Version: 3.4.4 Severity: normal
Hi! The last paragraph of section 5.11.2. NMUs and debian/changelog recommends to suffix the version for a "forked" NMU (e.g. security uploads or an upload to t-p-u) with +debXYuZ . However, this practice seems quite unknown: $ wget -q -O - http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/dists/squeeze/main/source/Sources.gz|zgrep ^Version:|grep -c +deb[0-9][0-9]u 1 $ wget -q -O - http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/dists/squeeze/main/source/Sources.gz|zgrep ^Version:|grep -c +squeeze 12 Futhermore lintian warns when using +deb60u1, and it seems to confuse the bts a bit. See for example the version graph #603456, placing testings nagiosgrapher/1.7.1-2+deb60u1 above unstables nagiosgrapher/1.7.1-2.1, I'm wondering wether this recomendation should be changed.
