This means that we have two things regulating this: local habits here on pkg-grass-devel and some at least semi-official documentation on the debian wiki. My gut feeling is to stick to the docs (I have already repacked a version, and having the .1 there from the beginning was helpful then). I would appreciate if Andreas could make the final decision on this . I can live with it any way.
