About this, I'd like to get an advice of other backporters.

I began building unofficial i386 backports of the latest 3.2 samba
versions for both etch and lenny. Those will be hosted in the
pkg-samba project web pages on alioth
(http://pkg-samba.alioth.debian.org/packages).

I thus need naming the "dists" I'm using there as well as finding a
numbering scheme for packages.

Up to now I used "etch-backports" and "lenny-backports" as
dists....and packages are numbered this way:

 2:3.2.8-1~unoff40+1 for etch
 2:3.2.8-1~unoff50+1 for lenny

...this, even if these are not "backports" per se (there are no
packages for 3.2.8 anywhere).

Are there better advices for naming?
