Please let me know of your thoughts on > this topic. Is it possible to automatically reject uploads to wheezy-backports-sloppy with a wrong version number? Maybe with a lintian test and the same mechanism used for lintian based rejects in unstable. Do new uploads to wheezy-backports-sloppy have to got through NEW again? If so I think you could catch most of the errors there. If that's not possible I still think that changing the version suffix should be done. The advantage of haveing the same version numbering used for our releases outweights the small chance that a wrong version number will be a practical problem. Gaudenz
