Vincent - just a note, other sponsors have different preferences and it
might be good to not confuse maintainers by prefixing your request with
"IMHO" or "I want".

http://people.debian.org/~codehelp/#increment

Uploads to mentors are just as relevant, IMHO, as uploads to Debian and
all the sponsor needs to do (i.e. me) is add -v and -sa options as
appropriate.

Personally, I find it a lot easier to have -3, -4, -5 and more in the
changelog at mentors - it makes it easier for me to use interdiff to
check what the maintainer has actually done between uploads to mentors. 

Doesn't mentors disallow old versions anyway? Could 0.3.1.1-1 actually
be re-uploaded?

http://mentors.debian.net/cgi-bin/sponsor-pkglist?action=details;package=nlkt

The first version in Debian does not need to be -0 or -1 anyway - as
long as "-v0.3.1.0 -sa" is used.
