This is not a problem for the dh_ tool, as the resulting binary package will be exactly the same in both cases. This is indeed a problem for the release managers, as they need a way to disambiguate between these two cases. In this case, "current" is a hint, a declaration that has to be matched by what's in debian/rules, but it's not a proof the package is built this way. If we really need such a hint, I'd prefer to see it in another place than the field containing version information. However we might as well use the python-dev / python-all-dev build-dependencies to obtain the same information. I don't think we are missing any case, but we should probably write some binNMU detection script for use by the release managers, summarizing all of these thoughts. -- .''`. : :' : We are debian.org.
