Thanks for pointing this out. The problem generally is that updating the debian package otherwise would demand for a new upstream release if this is not split apart. That's usually not what you want. Therefore please only make a Debian-native (upstream=Debian, version without -number suffix) package for stuff that is exclusively targetted at Debian and can receive new releases anytime the Debian version asks for it. > As you are the upstream author, I suggest that you use a single > source package to build these two binary packages (one .dsc, two > .debs).
