I did. And no, I am not abusing the BTS. You cause a wrong /etc/debian_version
in sid. That's a bug *IN SID*, regardless of what you might think or not.

In no way I did talk about configure scripts. I talked about ./configure
*arguments*

-> resulting in changed build-deps and package contents.

As long as testing isn't frozen I don't care, packages get built in sid
anyway. And I think your upload timing is right EXCEPT that you should have
done that via tpu and not do "5.0" on sid.
