Package: cl-utilities
Version: 1.2.4-1
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

I initially noticed cl-utilities when I saw that the latest version
of pg-loader ran into a build failure in Ubuntu and discovered it was
due to a missing package.

I soon found that cl-utilities had existed in both Debian and Ubuntu
previously, but had been removed and now recently re-introduced in
Debian. Therefore I figured a simple fix would be to sync the newer
version to Ubuntu to re-introduce it there as well. However, the sync
failed because the package was rejected.

Looking closer, I see that the new/current version is 1.2.4-1, but
before the package got removed it had reached version 1.2.4-3. The
Debian part of the version number seems to have been reset, which I
guess makes sense when it is effectively re-added. However, the
latter version had also been synced to Ubuntu previously, and it now
rejected a new upload of 1.2.4-1 presumably because it is seen as an
older version number [1].

Would it be possible to increase the version number to 1.2.4-4 to
indicate it is newer than the older packages and make it syncable for
downstream? :)
