Binary packages need not use same versions as source package. Instead of introducing an epoch you could pass option -v to dpkg-gencontrol via dh_gencontrol. See https://salsa.debian.org/js-team/jsbundle-web-interfaces/-/blob/debian/master/debian/rules#L65 for an example - notice that the source version is appended to ensure that binary packages get incremented with each new source release. - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
