Hi. Thanks for the reply. Like you say, "at first glance" (pkg =
${source:Version}) would work for this specific case, and that's what
the second patch here does.
Clearly I haven't thought about this as much as you have, and if it
really looks unfixable, it'd be great if
- An attempt to make a broken binNMU would hard-fail instead of throwing
an easily-missed warning
- The error message has a link to this and related bugs
Currently dh_installdocs throws an error if compat != 9. Is it
acceptable to make it fail even for compat == 9?
Thanks for your work on this.
