Package: libmono-npgsql2.0-cil
Version: 2.6.7-3

The Npgsql version incorporated in Mono is Npgsql 1.0, though mono
sets the version to  either 1.0.5000.0 or 2.0.0.0 depending on Net 1.1
or 2.0. This is confusing since there is also an official Npgsql
2.0-series, now at 2.0.10, that is an entirely different version than
the one provided by Mono. Debian also lacks this much improved
version. (One problem that can occur is thinking that you don't need
to set ENCODING in your connection string, since real Npgsql 2.0
handles this properly anyway, but then having weird problems, because
Npgsql 1.0 was flawed in this regard.)

Please package Npgsql 2.0.10 for Debian. Perhaps Debian should also
stop providing the Mono-provided version entirely?

I have also suggested this to be removed from Mono upstream - not sure
what will come of that:
