I'd be fine with a specific exception for binNMUs, but not a more general one, as the ability to reconstruct a version graph based on the source version entries in debian/changelog is fairly important for the BTS. [It's of less importance now that dak exports that to the BTS, but it is still how we generated it all in the first place.] Don Armstrong -- I will not make any deals with you. I've resigned.
