Package: dpkg-dev
Version: 1.14.16
The new dpkg-genchanges -si heuristic of looking at the version number
of the previous entry in the changelog breaks for (long-lived)
experimental packages that merge changelog entries from unstable in
chronological order. That is, you end up with a changelog like:
package (2.0~rc1-2) experimental;
* Merge 1.5-2 upload.
* Do some other stuff.
package (1.5-2) unstable;
* Fix bug #123.
package (2.0~rc1-1) experimental;
* Upload first release candidate of 2.0 to experimental.
package (1.5-1) unstable;
* New upstream release.

As an adolescent I aspired to lasting fame, I craved factual certainty,
and I thirsted for a meaningful vision of human life -- so I became a
scientist. This is like becoming an archbishop so you can meet girls.
