Binary version != source version is somewhat likely to break all sorts of things (e.g. version tracking for bugs[1]), so maybe this should just be forbidden except in the most exceptional circumstances (what's the reason to have this, anyway?). Kind regards T. 1. http://bugs.debian.org/src:myspell has the open bugs against binary packages as "From other Branch bugs", I'm tempted to think that the closed bugs seem to disappear completely(?).[2] 2. I couldn't find on any package's summary page #265487 -- Thomas Viehmann, http://thomas.viehmann.net/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
