However, when I looked at the changeling, it has this order:

cryptote (0.5.390-1ubuntu3) vivid; urgency=low   (the one you
inspected last time in my ppa)
  * Fixing compilation errors in secmem.h by explicitly naming parent class
 -- Qichang Liang <kcle...@users.sourceforge.net>  Thu, 25 Dec 2014

cryptote (0.5.390-1ubuntu2) lucid; urgency=medium
  * Adding correct build dependencies
 -- Timo Bingmann <r...@idlebox.net>  Fri, 18 Oct 2013 21:26:03 +0200

cryptote (0.5.390-1ubuntu1) lucid; urgency=medium
  * First public upstream beta release 0.5.390
 -- Timo Bingmann <r...@idlebox.net>  Mon,  3 Aug 2009 23:03:03 +0200

cryptote (0.0.366-1ubuntu1) lucid; urgency=medium
  * Upstream beta release 0.0.366
 -- Timo Bingmann <r...@idlebox.net>  Mon,  9 Feb 2009 13:59:15 +0000

cryptote (0.0.330-1ubuntu1) lucid; urgency=low
  * Upstream beta release 0.0.330
 -- Timo Bingmann <r...@idlebox.net>  Tue, 29 Jul 2008 19:39:15 +0000

cryptote (0.0.259-1ubuntu1) lucid; urgency=low
  * Upstream beta release 0.0.259
 -- Timo Bingmann <r...@idlebox.net>  Tue, 22 Jul 2008 17:20:25 +0200

Though none of the previous versions were publicly released.

So for the current version, should I use:

cryptote (0.5.390-0ubuntu3)

or

cryptote (0.5.390-0ubuntu1)

I am very confused

I am going to look into that.  I think there is only one binary
package, so there should not be build-indep stuff.

Here is another problem:  I want to get cryptote into 15.04 as soon as
possible, but I don't rule out uploading that package in the future.
So what should I do with debian/menu?

And alternatively, do you have power to sponsor new Debian packages?


Thanks!
