I consider such requirement quite suboptimal. 1) you kill history 2) even not being officially published, this source package is in the wild and it is a bad idea to just reset its versioning (well unless using epoch which would be compeltely unneeded) since these users who built & installed first version of -1 from mentors won't get the updated one from official mirrors. > Unfortunately I don't think mentors will let > you upload a -1 now that you've uploaded a -2 which is unfortunate.
