Dear mentors, would it be a correct usage to utilize epoch 1 on a package that abondons the tarball-in-tarball model for the 3.0-quilt format?
In setting a positive epoch in the control file, I still notice that all package files are assigned a version that does not display the epoch-prefix "1:", yet I know that many packages brought in from a repository displays such prefixes. Could it be that the build daemons assign those? Last question: Abondoning the tarball-in-tarball form of the orig.tar-file would change the upstream tarball that comes with the repackaged debian source, without changes to the upstream version. Would the increase in epoch number in itself prevent errors in the repository checks, or is some additional measure needed in order to make the change of orig.tar-file possible?
