Hi!

This package uses a native source format, with a non-native version,
which is rather confusing and subverts the semantics of both the
source and version formats.

This currently produces a lintian error, and with dpkg-dev 1.20.1 it
will start producing warnings, but my intention is to eventually make
it error out.

Please, either use a non-native source format, or a native version,
so that these are coherent.

In addition this means this package cannot benefir from shipping
pristine upstream sources with their matching upstream signatures for
better provenance verifiability.

Thanks,
Guillem
