The way I handle things, as a release procedure, is that I'll release new Debian-specific versions (-2, -3, etc.) when the changes are only in the debian directory, but for anything that affects the rest of the package, I'll release a new upstream version. I figure that if it's important enough to release a new Debian package, it's important enough to release a new upstream release too, and just make it clear to people in the release notes whether it's a bug fix they're likely to care about. -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/>
