Only if you additionally have time to read the updated Debian Policy and ensure that the package complies with that newer version, should you bump Standards-Version. (possibly that's what you meant) Purpose of the Standards-Version field is *not* to keep you busy silencing corresponding lintian warning, but to state which version of Debian Policy the package is verified to comply with. - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
