Which would be an example of one of those issues I mentioned.

I have no idea why Christian has split handbrake differently from the 
Debian method.  Certainly, the epoch # on DMO is so that the DMO package
will be preferred in the more usual setups.  That's the point;  why
bother with DMO otherwise? (rhetorical question - I can think of various
reasons).

In any case, Gary's sorted and everyone (1) is happy.
