Maybe I misunderstand but this bug report is not about "changing" or "bumping" anything. Since npm2deb creates the *initial* Debian packaging, the situation where we start with a lower Standards-Version and then have to verify changes before we can "bump" the Standards-Version doesn't arise. Furthermore, I'd argue that any tool which auto-generates Debian packaging data should use the current and/or recommended packaging practices. According to the debhelper man page, compatibility level 10 is the "recommended mode of operation". Thanks! cheers, josch
