severity 543990 wishlist thanks As I already stated I contacted upstream authors to have a sane release policy. But I'm not the one to decide. Neither the maintainer.
As I already stated the *upstream* release policy dictates that a new debian release increases the *upstream* package version. It is that simple and there is nothing we can do about it. I'll forward your concerns to upstream authors but *as I already stated* upstream author is not currently willing to change the release policy. There are a million reasons to support that debian releases should be separate from upstream releases but *as I already stated* I tried and failed to convince upstream author. As long as the package does not break the debian policy it can no longer be considered a serious bug. Nonetheless we will keep this as a wishlist item as a testimony of your thoughts (which are also mine). Cheers, F.
