Package: apt-utils
Severity: wishlist
Hi,
per developer's reference 5.10.2.1, a binary recompilation-only NMU is
"tagged" by having a third level in the binary package version number.
One is then required to strip off either the last or the last two
parts of the binary package version number ot determine which source
the package was built off.
This is a bad hack in the developer's reference.
apt-ftparchive is in a position to help here by generating a proper
Source: line in the Packages: file. For example, bind9 1:9.2.1-2.0.1
should have "Source: bind9 (1:9.2.1-2)" in the Packages file. IMO, the
Source: line should only be suppressed if both package name and
version number match the respective Package: or Version: fields.
Greetings
Marc

Hi,
This was fixed in an old version of dpkg, changelog snippet included,
granted it's not too descriptive, but oh well:
* Support binNMU safe packages even when source and binary differ in
version.
Current dpkg in testing/unstable should fully support binNMUs.
regards,
guillem
