What is the point of adding "-n" by my version if 'n' is always 1. > The only way that would be possible would be if I packaged your releases as "native" (meaning that I do not add the "-n" to indicate a Debian revision). However, that brings with it lots of other issues and I would rather not do that. Additionally, I do not think that a.b.c-d would be valid as a native version number. The way that version numbers are parsed, is that if any hyphen characters are present, then everything after the last hyphen is the Debian revision. If no Debian revision is present, then the package is considered native. So, two or more hyphens are permissible, but the presence of any hyphens prevents the package from being considered native.
