I do it the same way, but I usually use NMU version numbers for my testing: 1.00-0.1 for the first version I try to install, 1.00-0.2 for the second. Only when i upload it does it get its -1. I think this would also be a good approach for non-DD during communication with possible sponsors. Regards, Frank -- Frank K�ster Inst. f. Biochemie der Univ. Z�rich Debian Developer
