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.

Thanks,
Guillem
