I've written down the proposed policy for versioning here:

It turned out there was a previous page written by Bulat that contained
essentially this policy, but it wasn't linked from anywhere which explains
why it was overlooked. I took the liberty of rewriting the text.
You wrote:
A client that wants to specify that they depend on a particular version
of the API can specify a particular A.B.C and be sure of getting that
API only. For example, build-depends: mypkg-2.1.1
Are you proposing an extension along the lines of that proposed by
Thomas (and Bulat, and others), i.e. this would be equivalent to
build-depends: mypkg >= 2.1.1 && < 2.1.2 ?
Yes, I should have mentioned that, thanks. I'll update the page shortly
with this suggestion and others.
Cheers,
Simon
