Hi,

There are multiple issues to report;

- Both 4.4.0 and 4.4.1 tags are not on 4.4 branch, we can leave them as you say 
the trend now is to not put tags on branch. I personally think it would bug 
because I had always assumed the tag was in the release branch. But then does 
that mean you want to keep the RC branch?

- Both 4.4.0 and 4.4.1 tagged releases have -snapshot in debian/changelog 
resulting in debian package names which should be 4.4.0 or 4.4.1 and not 
4.4.0-snapshot or 4.4.1-snapshot. This is not the case in case of 4.3.1/4.3.0 
and past releases.

I would propose to remove -snapshots as it is not informative or useful; just 
using the version name without -snapshot reduces divergence between 
release/master branches and build related issues.
