...which implies that people always check their packages properly.[1] But as Dato already correctly pointed out, PTS is not the right place for checks like that. My point was just that *if* there is any "complex" version comparison *then* it should also deal with timewarp-standards-versions. [1] People building packages in a chroot and checking them with lintian from testing (or even ubuntu) would see that 3.7.3 is outdated and they should update to 3.8.0. Then they remember some mail on d-d-a but don't remember the version... was it 3.8.1 or 3.9.0? ah, wth I just take 3.9.0. Sure, this is a bad mistake but people... :)
