No, the correct solution is to introduce two new variables and deprecate the old one, instead of further re-defining "Source-Version" in ways that have even less to do with the source version. And why is this on -devel instead of on -dpkg, anyway? -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
