Package: acme-tiny
Severity: wishlist
Version: 20160801-3

Dear acme-tiny package Maintainers,

looking at https://packages.qa.debian.org/a/acme-tiny.html and
https://github.com/diafygi/acme-tiny/releases it is obvious that Debian
does not follow upstream version numbers (which look like semantic
versioning, which is good!) but uses its own date-based kind of
"upstream versions". This discrepancy is confusing.

So please switch to using upstream's version numbers for the upstream
version of acme-tiny's Debian packages. That way it's clear which Debian
package relates to which upstream release and Debian users would profit
from the semantic versioning.
