Source: vde2 Source-Version: 2.3.2+r586-8 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 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 started producing warnings, but my intention is to eventually make it error out, given the above, and because this is a common source of this kind of accidental packaging bug. Please, either use a non-native source format, or a native version, so that these are coherent. From the historical data in snapshot.debian.org, this would appear as the build was done with a missing orig for the -8 revision, so dpkg-source considered it a native format? I'd recommend switching to source format «3.0 (quilt)» where this kind of accident cannot happen. Thanks, Guillem
