For this case, I don't think it's appropriate to imagine the problem doesn't apply to the version in testing. We want to support partial upgrades, and the version of python may well make it into testing before the fixed version of your package. > > So I assume I would tell v-t that the > > bug has been there all the time, right?

Other examples are things like "foo in unstable Build-Depends bar, which used to be okay, but now we need one that B-Ds on bar2!". These should probably be filed without a Version: at all - it's a bug in the "package", but no particular version of the package. Ditto "New upstream release" available. I think that avoids breaking anything, and seems reasonably clear. > I think in that case you'd have to drop back to tags.
