Package: devscripts
Version: 2.10.28
Severity: normal

It looks like "-n" option to debian only package add +nmu1 to upstream version 
number.

While manpage state as:

--nmu, -n
  Increment the Debian release number for a non-maintainer upload by either
  appending a ".1" to a non-NMU version number  or by  incrementing  an  NMU
  version number, and add an NMU changelog comment.  This happens automatically
  if the packager is neither in the Maintainer nor the Uploaders field in
  debian/control,  unless  DEBCHANGE_AUTO_NMU  is  set  to  no  or  the
  --no-auto-nmu option is used.

This is the same as policy saids.

I do not know there is some recent agreement to change policy.

I personally like what used to be.  This + sign broke some package of
mine.  This brought me here.

I am not arguing which is right but it will be nice at least there are some
consistency within package.
