Source: qbittorrent
Version: 5.1.4-dmo1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

currently, the qbittorrent package in testing and unstable has version
string 5.1.4-dmo1. The -dmo1 likely stands for deb-multimedia, and it is
surprising to see such a suffix for a package that comes from actual
debian.

I am not aware of any explicit restriction on allowed suffixes for
version numbers, but -dmo is not a convention I've seen in debian
before. qbittorrent is currently the only package in debian with a -dmo
suffix, and the changelog for qbitorrent shows that such suffix was not
used previously.

Is this perhaps some oversight that landed it in debian by accident?
Seeing a package version with -dmo can mislead the user into thinking
they accidentally enabled deb-multimedia repositories.
