Right, but we have quite a few packages with such versions: http://lintian.debian.org/tags/native-package-with-dash-version.html And I'm pretty sure that some people are using native packages on purpose for packages where they are not upstream. I would not apply this change without a prior discussion on debian-devel resulting in some consensus about this change. Non-native packages with native versions are much less common so this part of the change is certainly less problematic. http://lintian.debian.org/tags/non-native-package-with-native-version.html > (Attached patch does this for 3.0 (quilt) and 3.0 (native) packages, > where this change should be safe to be done and does not touch any legacy > source package formats). Why do you consider it safer for 3.0 formats than for 1.0?
