The plan is to update the version string when releasing a new version.
In this case the package has been sitting in ci-train for long, and I
have been making only small packaging improvements, not enough for a
version bump, that's why there is a "mismatch".

Thanks, changed to https://git.launchpad.net/repowerd

since it points at an "any" package.

I followed the instructions at
https://wiki.debian.org/Renaming_a_Package , which note for the dummy
package: "Note that the package does not contain any architecture
specific files anymore and therefore the Architecture is set to "All",
even if it was "Any" before."

> - I see REPOWERD_DISABLE_TIME_SENSITIVE_TESTS=ON in debian/rules. Is
there something that does run the time sensitive tests? CI Jenkins
maybe? This might be a good spot to suggest adding a dep8 test that runs
the full test suite.

The time sensitive tests (will) run in repowerd CI jenkins. Initial I
had them enabled for ci-train too, but encountered spurious failures
when building in ci-train due to high builder load.

> - dh_installinit seems to be a little confused? It inserts code into
postinst and prerm to stop and start the init.d job. But repowerd only
installs an upstart job and a systemd job...

Is there something I can do to change this? I don't reference init.d at
all in my debian config files.
