I was waiting until after the etch release to send such patch. I'd consider Source-Version to be now half-deprecated, due to it needing a versioned Build-Dependency on dpkg-dev. After the release we can fix the policy and advertise it widely as deprecated and even add a warning in lintian/linda. Once all packages have been fixed, we could consider removing that substvar, to avoid all confusion it carries... regards, guillem -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
