I was running dpkg-scanpackages to construct a custom apt source.
This was the first time I really ran it, so I encountered the

This was what I had to write to make a Packages file in a flat dir:

Redhat, Suse, Microsoft they need version numbers so that
they can announce their great new release of their operating
system. It is more or less marketing hype.
