Hi!

This package uses a native source format, with a non-native version,
which is rather confusing and subverts the semantics of both the
source and version formats.

This currently produces a lintian error, and with dpkg-dev 1.20.1 it
will start producing warnings, but my intention is to eventually make
it error out.

Please, either use a non-native source format, or a native version,
so that these are coherent.

It would appear as if the problem was caused when the first NMU was
done by switching the version to a non-native scheme (instead of using
the newer convention of +nmuN). Doing so now would fix this issue.

Thanks,
Guillem
