Hi! I'd like to obsolete the ${Source-Version} substvar, which has very misleading semantics, and has been deprecated since dpkg 1.13.19 in 2006-05-04. This currently emits warnings from various dpkg-dev scripts and from lintian.
<https://lintian.debian.org/tags/substvar-source-version-is-deprecated.html> I'm attaching the prospective dd-list, and the template bug report. I'd like do the MBF in 1 or 2 weeks, and turn the warnings into errors in the first dpkg release after 1 or 2 months from now. I'm easy if people would like more or less time? Thanks, Guillem

Hi! This source package uses the ${Source-Version} substvar variable deprecated since dpkg 1.13.19 in 2006-05-04. That upload also introduced the substvars binary:Version and source:Version which can be used instead. Using this deprecated substvar will become an error in the near future. Please update the package. See also: <link to MBF thread>. Thanks, Guillem
