Jose Sogo and I hashed this out for Debian packaging... we agreed that
I would use the top 0.15-0 header (which Debian never uses) as a simple
place holder for my official releases on sourceforge.net.

Any official packages, which start at 0.15-1, would "upgrade" mine.

I don't make many changes to debian/changelog either, anymore.  It is just
there as a placeholder to make building packages straight out of the tree
easier.  Whatever is there is left over from my work, and some leftover
merges from Jose's git repo.

You are free to blow it away locally for your own purposes.
