dpkg-buildpackage: warning: debian/changelog(l1): version '0:jessie' is
invalid: version number does not start with digit
LINE: name (0:jessie) unstable; urgency=medium
According to the following regex over my Sources there seems to be no
source package with an upstream_version part that does not start with a
digit:
sed -ne 's/^Version: \([0-9]\+:\)\?[^0-9]//p'
So maybe policy should be adjusted to reflect reality?
Yes. #620566 used to be a policy bug about it, but then someone
unhelpfully reassigned it to dpkg...
