In a related problem, I'm packaging the latest version of gtklp at
1.0c. My earlier package is 1.0 but using version 1.0rel (I was stupid,
but I think I should have slapped upstream earlier for using a very
inadequate versioning scheme). How do I set the version for this
package? Should I use an epoch, like 1:1.0c, so gtklp in sid can show up
as 1.0c before testing as 1.0rel?
