Package: developers-reference
Version: 3.4.4
Severity: normal
Hi!
The last paragraph of section 5.11.2. NMUs and debian/changelog recommends
to suffix the version for a "forked" NMU (e.g. security uploads or an
upload to t-p-u) with +debXYuZ . However, this practice seems quite
unknown:
$ wget -q -O -
http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/dists/squeeze/main/source/Sources.gz|zgrep
^Version:|grep -c +deb[0-9][0-9]u
1
$ wget -q -O -
http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/dists/squeeze/main/source/Sources.gz|zgrep
^Version:|grep -c +squeeze
12
Futhermore lintian warns when using +deb60u1, and it seems to confuse the
bts a bit. See for example the version graph #603456, placing testings
nagiosgrapher/1.7.1-2+deb60u1 above unstables nagiosgrapher/1.7.1-2.1, I'm
wondering wether this recomendation should be changed.
Best regards,
Alexander

This was fixed a while ago; see bug #685646.
+debXuY is now recommended:
$ zcat dists/unstable/main/source/Sources.gz | grep -c 'Version:
.*[+]deb[0-9]u[0-9]'
