Package: sbuild Version: 0.63.1-1 Severity: wishlist dpkg-dev introduced a generic solution for binNMUs that doesn't hardcode the requirement to use a "+bX" suffix. All you have to do is to add a "binary-only=yes" keyword in the changelog header line like this:
ftplib (3.1-1-9+b1) unstable; urgency=low, binary-only=yes When this keyword is present, dpkg-gencontrol will assume that the source version is the one listed in the changelog entry below the one tagged binary-only. This gives us the freedom to do binary-only uploads with different suffixes, for instance we could use "~bpo6.0+1" to build squeeze backports while reusing the same source package that is in testing. Please update sbuild to add this keyword. It should not break anything for older versions of dpkg as long as you stick to the usual suffix.
