Please in the future instead of boldly declaring how someone else's
stuff is broken and doing an NMU without even warning the original
maintainer (who already had a fix ready himself and uploaded a few days
earlier except it got stuck in NEW), think of WHY a seemingly broken
thing is in place.
Indeed the bee:Version hack is gross and it doesn't make me happy
either. When I saw your patch I tried to remember why I used it in the
first place (it's been a year), couldn't figure it out and decided to
just merge your stuff, assuming I missed something.
But indeed now my buildbot is generating packages with an insatisfiable
dependency. My buildbot sets a version number at runtime and annoyingly
that only sets binary:Version, not source:Version.
I'll unmerge this stuff. Please in the future don't just assume "the
other guy" must be an idiot, crazy hacks may have a purpose.
