hi, seriosuly, I would not bother about the epoch, and just live with it. iirc 10% of the archive has an epoch, so meh.
Removing over two releases is risky and errorprone, eg. you need to make sure not to reuse versions etc pp. An epoch might be a bit ugly, but overall it's completly harmless. -- cheers, Holger ⢀⣴⠾⠻⢶⣦⠀ ⣾⠁⢠⠒⠀⣿⡁ holger@(debian|reproducible-builds|layer-acht).org ⢿⡄⠘⠷⠚⠋⠀ OpenPGP: B8BF54137B09D35CF026FE9D 091AB856069AAA1C ⠈⠳⣄ War is peace.
