yes, ubuntu is still using it, but not for backports. -0ubuntu1 is used in ubuntu if a package is being uploaded in advance of debian. I therefore will not propose this change. for backports, ubuntu uses -1~suitenameN as well. -- Gruesse/greetings, Reinhard Tartler, KeyID 945348A4 _______________________________________________ pkg-multimedia-maintainers mailing list pkg-multimedia-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-multimedia-maintainers
