I don't think we're "screwed", rather that we need to use a custom solution in a rare case, which I don't find objectionable if it means we can keep a working system for the vast majority of existing cases. Of course changing it is not the end of the world but I'm not quite convinced it's a needed change. Still, I think that the deb41=5.0 point is a real regression to the current system. If we can solve that I'm not objecting to changing the scheme if people so desire. So if we can just agree that the version number of Debian n+1 will always be decided before the release of n, my most important concern is addressed. Can we do that?
