When a package version number is terminated with "+b1", apt-build download and install a version without this extension, and download and "--reinstall" the original version with "+b1".

This bug is very annoying because in the case of a multiple binaries source package, the whole set of binary packages is rebuilt with each single package building query... for nothing !

I don't know the meaning of this "+b1" debian revision number, but I'd like to know if, in the wait of a fix some day, I can rename my rebuilt packages by adding the "+b1" without compromising the integrity of my system ?

regards

Marc Gasnot
