Package: debian-policy
Version: 3.7.2.2
Severity: wishlist
Per recent mail from Guillem Jover, the version number is also added
to the Source field of .changes files for binNMUs. This change was
made in dpkg 1.13.22 and is therefore currently in stable. dak also
now supports it.
This diff attempts to bring Policy back in line with current practice.

This was fixed in 3.7.3.0, but I got the bug number off by one in the
