FTP master (rather, the "prime" dak instance) can be changed with so little delay that we shouldn't worry too much about that particular case. We may cause more problems just directly outside of Debian (eg. Ubuntu's use of Lintian) or — as you mention — where the usage of profiles is distributed across a team. > debian/changelog:malformed-version None of these is perfect but this is far the least problematic for me (eg. "->" is multiple character, ">" and "#" would require escaping on the command line, "@" appears to add a misleading meaning etc. etc.) Regards, -- ,''`. : :' : Chris Lamb `. `'` la...@debian.org 🍥 chris-lamb.co.uk `-
