I don't know how to handle this:
My swig package in frozen has a small, but `important' bug dealing with
version numbers (#20068, swig: dpkg thinks 1.1p5-1 < 1.1.b5.p2-1).
I thought about simply rebuilding the package with a changed revision
number "1.1.p5-1" which would fix the bug in a very transparent way.
But when I compared the resulting packages, I found that the old package
had been built with a g++/libstdc++ based on 2.7.2, while nowadays g++
2.90 is the official C++ compiler, going with libstdc++2.8.
Now I don't know: When I recompile the package using the official g++
2.90 / libstdc++ 2.80 combo, this may introduce new bugs, therefore I'm
sure Brian won't allow this to go into frozen.
The alternative is faking an build environment that installs g++272 as
c++ and uses libstdc++272. Is this the accepted way to go ?
