I would also agree with using the same version number as the one released by upstream (ie 2.12.0 vs 2.12) The tarball you are (or should) download is already coming with that version in the name This is generally a good habit to stick with the version scheme upstream is using IMHO Kind regards, Laurent Bigonville

What's wrong with using just 2-component version number? We do apply the stable patchsets, and we do apply the selected stable patches. So the result is really not any 2.8.y patcheset, but something more than that. On the other hand, using full 3-components version number requires re-upload of the upstream source, and makes packaging to be more work than it is now. So what do we gain and what for? If it is only the watch file, that's so much minor non-issue, there's just no point in spending time with that. Thanks, /mjt

Source: qemu Version: 1:2.8+dfsg-2 Severity: low Could you please use the full version number 2.8.0 instead of 2.8? https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/qemu complains that a newer upstream version is available because that's what the watch file indicates. Thanks, Jeremy Bicha
