You could put the VCS hash as text in the changelog entry, e.g. "New upstream snapshot (git commit XXXX)." and just use the date as Debian version (0~YYYYMMDD or 0.YYYYMMDD). In case you need to release two upstream snapshots on the same date, you can append .2 (0~YYYYMMDD.2). -- Benjamin Drung Debian & Ubuntu Developer -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
