Package: git-buildpackage
Version: 0.6.0~git20111229
Severity: wishlist
File: /usr/bin/git-dch

Dear Maintainer,

In my quest to avoid manual debian/changelog management, I'm looking at
a way to mangle the guessed debian version during git-dch invocation.

Today:

- upstream-tag permit to extract the version number from an upstream tag
- debian-tag permit to  extract the version number from a debian tag

Looking at what git-dch produce and what a debian version is[1], I think
git-dch could use another parameter to manage the debian_revision added
to the upstream_version.

This will permit to append something like the '+squeezeX' or '-XubuntuY'
used at several places.

Regards.
