Of course. If you change the source, you need to bump the version number. That is a _source_ NMU, since we need to able to build the packages from the source we have around. A binary NMU should not touch the source. Remember - a buildd building and uploading is, technically, doing an NMU. -- Tollef Fog Heen Unix _IS_ user friendly...
