--- Begin Message ---Source: python-defaults Source-Version: 2.7.18-3 Severity: important User: debian-d...@lists.debian.org Usertags: dpkg-mismatch-source-vs-version-format Hi! This package uses a native source format, with a non-native version, which is rather confusing (to unexperienced and experience packagers alike) and subverts the semantics of both the source and version formats. Which is a common source of accidental packaging bugs, and makes handling of source packages more brittle by external tools. This currently produces a lintian error, and with dpkg-dev 1.20.1 it started producing warnings, but my intention is to eventually make it error out, given the above. Please, either use a non-native source format, or a native version, so that these are coherent. I do understand the appeal of the current usage in this package, as it wants to represent the upstream versions faithfully. But there are workable alternatives used by other similar default source packages: * Use a different revision separator, the common pattern would be to use «+», but it could also be a string. This has the advantage that it can be easily mapped and follows the current packaging practice. * Use an independent version, and set the binary package versions from debian/rules. For this package this would be more cumbersome and probably confusing given the existing version scheme. * Switch to use a non-native source format. Thanks, Guillem
