On the contrary, I believe the argument can be made that mixing tags from different distributions under one prefix -- as you propose -- would be much more confusing. Ideally speaking, debian/<version> currently tells me that every tag in there corresponds to a Debian upload, and vice versa. Consequently, I don't want to see a tag in there from downstream distros, as that relationship would no longer hold. That argument also holds from a downstream distro's POV. ubuntu/1.0-0ubuntu1 might look redundant, but I find the upload<->tag relationship much more important that having slightly prettier tag names. I think <vendor>/<version> is the way to go. > - are there other important things to standardize?
