Thanks,

Actually, I fixed it ;)

Tracking bugs by revision number works very well for upstream, and if
that interferes with Debian packaging then they would see that as
Debian's problem. In any case, I was given commit access to the Debian
repository recently, and made the fix in such a way that the revision
will be set automatically each time new upstream code gets imported via
uscan, so there is no chance of somebody forgetting to do it.

Unfortunately I haven't been given access to the Debian archive so I
can't upload the package into Debian, but hopefully the actual
maintainer will get around to doing it soon.

Title:
  Revision doesn't match upstream v2.0.2

Status in musescore package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  This bug applies to musescore (2.0.2+dfsg-1) [universe] in the Wily
  repo.

  Go to Help -> About. The following is displayed in the dialog:

  Version: 2.0.2
  Revision: 3543170

  But the revision should be: f51dc11

  The revision number should correspond to the first 7 digits of git commit 
code corresponding to the v2.0.2 tagged release:
  https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/tree/2.0.2

  The revision number is specified in the code in the file
  mscore/revision.h. Simply change the number in this file to fix the
  bug.

  Note to maintainer - updating the revision number automatically:
  There is a Makefile target called "revision" (i.e. "make revision") that sets 
the revision number. Adding the appropriate command to debian/rules would set 
revision automatically. However, note the following:
  - "make revision" only works in a git repository
  - If using a downstream git repo you MUST use "make revision" BEFORE 
committing to a downstream repository. (i.e. "revision" should match the 
upstream git revision, not the downstream git revision).

  I help maintain the MuseScore PPA on Launchpad (https://launchpad.net
  /~mscore-ubuntu) and regularly contribute to the upstream code.
