That adds some needed clarification. I agree that in that circumstance, adding
an epoch is the best way forward. It allows you to maintain the current
upstream program version number, while unifying the Debian, Ubuntu, and PPA
version numbers in such a way that packages from those repositories can be
used interchangeably.
I would suggest that you work with upstream on how they will version things in
the future, so you aren't bumping the epoch every year.
Agreed.
I have many hats here, one of them being the upstream one. There is a
clear vision how this should work in the future; this vision does not
include any further epoch bumps.
